Bangkok to Preveza is 5,095 miles (8,199 km), a flight of about 9 hours 40 minutes.
Although the Preveza approach favors the left, the long cruise phase heavily favors the right side, which faces the mountainous spine of the route — the Himalayan foothills near the India-Myanmar border, the rugged Zagros Mountains of Iran, and the Taurus range in Turkey — before the Pindus mountains rise up over Greece. The left side spends most of the flight over the flat Bay of Bengal, Arabian Sea, and Mesopotamian plains, which is far less varied.

Phase by phase
Takeoff from BKK
RIGHTDeparting Suvarnabhumi and turning west, the right side keeps Bangkok's sprawling grid and the Chao Phraya delta in view a bit longer before the aircraft heads out over the flatter Gulf lowlands. It's a mild edge, but the urban skyline and river network are more visually engaging than the paddies and canals on the left.
Landing at PVK
LEFTOn approach into Preveza, the final turn onto runway 24 brings the Ionian coastline into view on the left, including the mouth of the Ambracian Gulf and the outline of Lefkada island offshore. This coastal, island-studded scenery beats the inland hill views on the right during the same turn.
