On long international flights I try and avoid the window seat like the plague, however unfortunately on my most recent trip from Sydney to L.A. there was nothing I could do.

Making the most of my situation, I pulled out my camera in case of any window seat views, and was pleasantly surprised by the birds eye view.

They say the best views of Sydney are from the top of the harbour bridge, though I disagree. You’ll find the best views over Sydney upon takeoff or landing, from the window seat of your plane.
