★ 2.5 left·★ 2.0 right

Left side scores higher due to superior takeoff scenery from Thiruvananthapuram's coastal departure, with visible backwaters, Arabian Sea, and urban features. While the landing at Kuwait favors the right side, the takeoff experience is more visually distinctive and memorable. The flight is predominantly over open ocean and flat desert, limiting both sides to moderate scores, but the Kerala coastal departure gives left a slight edge for the full journey.
