First Step to a Great Airplane View: Get a Window Seat

Seriously. That’s the first piece of advice in an otherwise useful Travel + Leisure story by Jeff Wise. Also of note: the presentation of this story in print vs. online.
In the print magazine, the headline and subhead are slightly lofty and reflective:
How to Look Out an Airplane
The world at 30,000 Feet
Online, the head and sub are practically ad copy, just begging for links:
Get Amazing Airplane Views: 7 Tips
The View from Above, in Seven Easy Steps
Call it a case study for the differences between the two mediums. And, for what it’s worth, the body of the story appears to be the same in both places.

Good catch on the different packaging between print and online versions. I was just happy to see something about flying that didn’t involve more fees ...
