Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Fort Lauderdale to Windsor Locks. Both sides score equally at 2.5 due to the flight's geography: the takeoff from Miami offers superior coastal and urban scenery, while the landing in central Connecticut provides only modest forested and river views. Left wins the overall recommendation because the Fort Lauderdale departure is more visually distinctive and memorable than the Bradley landing, making the left side the better choice for the full journey.
