While the landing approach favours the left, the takeoff and the majority of the flight path—crossing the Irish Sea, Wales, the English Channel, France, and the Alps—offer more sustained scenic value from the right side. The right side captures the initial coastal drama and provides better views of major mountain ranges during the cruise phase.
