In certain airports, like the T1 of MMMX the windows are blocked or semi-blocked



blocked window



while in others are not (MMGL)



unblocked window



I understand this could be done to avoid debris hit the windows, but then why?

  • I don't see that this has much to do with aviation. Airport windows are presumably like windows in any other large building, so the considerations about building codes, sunlight, cleaning, maintenance etc. would be the same.

Question : What is the origin of the phrase "under your belt"?
