This side is generally better for visibility as it faces north, away from the direct sun. Try to stay awake for the first 45-60 minutes of the flight to catch the Isles of Scilly. When landing, the right side often provides a panoramic view of the entire island chain and the intricate patterns of the surrounding coral reefs.
