According to Jalopnik, there are a few situations where a pilot may intentionally open a window in-flight. (Prepare for noise.)
Who knew? Furthermore:
A variety of aircraft types will have these windows as a secondary exit in case of an emergency. If the cockpit door is stuck in an emergency, pilots won’t be stuck on the flight deck. It’s a safety redundancy that comes with some added benefits. Pilots let in some fresh air while on the ground or even to fly a flag during a celebration.
However, cracking open a window can also have additional purpose. In the event that view from the windows is obstructed, such as while flying around ash, then the pilots can descend below 10,000 feet, depressurize the plane and fly from the open window.
