Best side
LeftMostly left

The left side wins overall because the Western Ghats on approach to Belagavi is a genuinely dramatic geographic feature, and during the long overwater Atlantic and Middle East transit, the left side picks up better views of the Arabian Peninsula coastline and the Gulf of Oman as the route curves southeast over the Arabian Sea toward India.
