During the flight of Lufthansa we were asked to close windows?
When the sun started to go down we were asked to close the windows. Why was this mandatory? It was kinda dark outside from the USA to Germany? Why would the Lufthansa require us to do this?

Anyone ever flown in a CRJ 100?
Well, yes, it is somewhat smallish, due to the fact it is based on the Challenger business airplane (actually, feel relieved that the engineers at Canadair insisted on making it wider than original project sponsor Bill Lear wanted it, he called it "Fat Albert" to deride it; but in the end, good sense prevailed). That said, the 4 abreast seating arrangement, and the rather narrow fuselage means the window seats are compromised by the curvature of the fuselage, if someone is very tall, they should not insist on a window seat. By comparison, the 727 and 737 have 6 abreast seats, so their fuselage is noticeably wider. Take off will feel the same as a larger plane, as the field performance requirement is regulated for safety reasons. This being a lighter plane, it may be more "nervous" in flight than a bigger aircraft, but we are not talking about single engine propeller airplane level here. You will have a safe ride. And there will not be a huge crowd all jumping around as soon at the plane touches down to make it to the exit.
When flying from the USA and over Russia, why is one required to close the window shade?
As a 300,000 mile per year Frequent Flyer that does this trip frequently I can tell you simply. It’s nothing to do with security. It’s nothing to do with cosmic radiation. It’s all to do with cabin ambience and ensuring that people get sleep and rest more easily.It’s part of the CRM (Crew Resource Management) baseline these days. Passengers are more relaxed and there’s less demand on crew when blinds are closedOn take off and landing the reason the blinds must be open is ensuring your eyes are light adjusted in case there is an emergency and you have to de-plane quickly. That’s allNo mystery. You can take as many photos and videos as you like at all times - if there is a secret base or similar then the flight path won’t go near it if local authorities don’t want you photographing stuff. Those are called NOTAMs in pilot speak, and are much more effective than closing blinds ;)
