Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Chicago to Savoy. While both sides score equally at 1.5 due to the short, flat nature of this 45-minute flight over Midwestern terrain, the left side wins on takeoff with genuine urban and water scenery (Chicago skyline and Lake Michigan), whereas the landing view is comparable on both sides. Left provides the more memorable visual experience overall.
