POV: You’re on a flight and the sun is flooding in through the open window shade. If you don’t have a window seat, do you reach over to close the shade? When, exactly, is it acceptable to open a window shade on a flight? To answer these questions and more, we compiled a list of rules to guide shade etiquette. Some include: ⁠ ⁠ -Never lean over another person's seat to open or close the window. ⁠ -Choose between an open or closed window. You can shut it mid-flight, but don't keep opening and closing it.⁠ -If everyone in your row is sleeping, it is considerate (but not mandatory) to close the window shade.⁠ ⁠ Any others to consider?
