Whether it's a tantalising glimpse of the trip to come, or a bittersweet final pleasure as the reality of returning to the office looms, many will agree that gazing out of an aeroplane window is one of the major pleasures of a holiday.
Snapped thousands of feet above the ground, this set of pictures show the beauty of earth as seen from the comfort of the plane cabin. Group tour specialist The Flash Pack invited 'flashpackers' to send in their best 'plane window' snaps through a social media campaign.
The Flash Pack's co-founder Radha Vyas sai: 'All the photographs were snapped on smartphones and tablets and gave a real insight in to the life of a jetsetter.'
