One of the most exhilarating views of a new destination is the one glimpsed from a plane window. We asked CNN readers, tweeters and viewers to post, upload and email their best photos from up in the air. We pleaded with you to hit us with your best shots, and you delivered. Have more images you'd like to share? Post them on Twitter or Instagram and tag #CNNInTheAir.

Time to play "guess that city!" I am somewhere in the MENA region. While it's received a lot of bad western press, this remains the land of history. #travel #wanderlust #backpacking #springbreak #explore #sharetravelpics #CNNInTheAir
