LGA → IND
Which side of the plane to sit from La Guardia Airport (New York) to Indianapolis International Airport (Indianapolis)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is generally superior for this route as it offers the most iconic views of the Manhattan skyline immediately after takeoff and typically provides a better angle of the Indianapolis city center during the final approach.
