I wish there was consistency on the above.
On a UA flight last week I was quite surprised when the window blinds were left down for landing. I was in an aisle seat and had no advance warning of the touchdown.
I’ve also been told to stow my laptop for landing while overhead Amsterdam on an EK flight to Dublin.
