The Window Seat: Embracing Life As A First Time Flyer

 The window seat is the best place to be when you are a first-time traveler. When you get on a plane and you want the worthwhile experience of being in the air, the window seat is where you should be.

Do not be ashamed or timid to let the passenger next to you know that you’re a first-time traveler. With a genuine conversation, they’ll let you capture images of the cloud and even share in your enthusiasm without making you feel awkward in this moment.

This isn’t the bus from Oshodi to Lagos Island, therefore, you don’t need to be too careful when you are seated by the window seat of the airplane.

My first international trip, from Lagos to Amsterdam airport via a KLM flight


This isn’t the bus from Oshodi to Lagos Island, therefore, you don’t need to be too careful when you are seated by the window seat of the airplane.

On my flight from Lagos to Amsterdam airport, Netherlands, in September 2024, I got that window seat.

Sipping Starbucks coffee at the airport


I stared at life from an aerial view, seeing the rooftops of beautiful cities and observing the development of the world in real time. From the darkness roaming across the landscape of Lagos state, Nigeria, you wake up to see the enthralling lights of European cities- grab your phones, switch to the camera and capture the beauty moment as the airplane transits through the firmaments, indeed, the cloud is impeccable and the atmosphere is soothing, unfortunately, you can’t put your head out of the airplane window and perceive what the novelty of God’s beautiful creation.

 


The world is beautiful and it is almost impossible to grasp how everything works- all things encompassing, through the window seat, you sight the wings of the plane, the slats, the winglets, the jet engine and the greenfield on earth, you can only see these things when you settle into your window seat.

 

It’s a beautiful world we live in; to embrace it, you need to view life from the window seat, which is a thousand feet above sea level.
