Thanks,

I chose a/the window seat, so I could see the scenery below.

or

I chose a/the window seat, so I could see the scenery through the window of the plane.

Apostrophe 's' ('s) is not used to indicate possessive of inanimate objects.
Instead, '...... of the .....' is used:

the brakes of the car (not the car's brakes)
the roof of the building (not the building's roof)

Nawee,

Hi, again.

The most natural sounding example is:
I chose a window seat so I could see the scenery below.

I hope that helps. Take care.
