Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you, allowing for clearer photography of the Sahara's textures. Keep an eye out for the Niger River approximately halfway through the flight, as it provides a rare splash of color in the desert. During the Harmattan season (December-March), visibility may be limited by dust, so prioritize seats further forward to avoid wing obstruction.
