Best side
RightMostly right

The right side offers superior scenery during both departure and the early-to-middle portions of the flight. While the left side provides good landing views, the right-side takeoff experience over the Deccan Plateau and Western Ghats foothills, combined with views over the Middle East and Mediterranean during the long transatlantic crossing, makes right the better overall choice.
