Each year, our photo contest sees hundreds and hundreds photos submitted. And a sizeable chunk of those entries are from the perspective of staring out of a plane at a WestJet wing, the aptly named wing shot.

That got us thinking. Who are we to deny the cherished wing shot? After all, the journey in a WestJet plane is just as memorable as the destination itself for many travellers.

And so, here are our favourite wing shots from the 2010 photo contest:
