(CNN) -- It's at least as welcome as a warm face towel or the ping of the seatbelt sign going off: A beautiful view as you land.

Great article. Especially for those who are camera buffs with yen for landscape and panoramic photography.
Wow.. they still miss the plot on a few of them.

Either slow news day from CNN, or they don't get out much to travel.

I wonder how Kilimanjaro International rates in the list.
Aww even my tropical stunner of a home town misses out. Booo.
