Crazy Friday - stunning pictures from planes

The world went crazy yesterday with bloodshed and violence hitting many of the countries in which RPS works. If you have any worries about travelling to Egypt, Libya and the Ukraine, please do get in touch on [email protected] as these countries were badly shaken yesterday.

But Crazy Friday brought beauty in amongst the mayhem of the world.  Some fabulous pictures snapped thousands of feet above the ground. The 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. 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, these images show why gazing out of an aeroplane window is one of the major pleasures of a holiday.

The Flash Pack's co-founder Radha Vyas said: 'All the photographs were snapped on smartphones and tablets and gave a real insight in to the life of a jetsetter.'
