About This Route

Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Heathrow (LHR) to Eldorado International (BOG)?

Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from London to Bogota. Right side wins both ends of the flight. Over the Atlantic the views are similar on both sides, but the right side also gets better angles on the Venezuelan coast and the Llanos as the flight descends toward Colombia. Consistent advantage throughout.
