Left side scores higher due to superior scenery during both takeoff (Budapest's Danube and urban landscape) and landing (Hardangerfjord's dramatic fjord system and coastal mountains). The cruise phase over Scandinavia offers similar views from both sides, but the departure and arrival sequences decisively favor the left, where passengers see two of Europe's most visually distinctive cities and landscapes.
