Frequently Asked Questions
What is Which Side of the Plane?
Which Side of the Plane is a free tool that helps travelers find the best window seat for scenic views on their flight. We analyze geographic features, landmarks, and typical flight paths to recommend whether the left or right side of the aircraft offers better views during takeoff, landing, and throughout the journey.
How do you determine which side has better views?
Our recommendations consider multiple factors: the geographic features near each airport (coastlines, mountains, city skylines), typical runway directions and flight paths, notable landmarks visible from the air, and the position of the sun during different times of day. We analyze both takeoff and landing separately since the best side may differ.
Does it really matter which side I sit on?
Yes, it can make a significant difference! Depending on your route, one side may offer views of famous landmarks, stunning coastlines, mountain ranges, or city skylines while the other side faces open ocean or flat terrain. For example, flying into New York JFK, the right side often offers views of Manhattan's skyline and the Statue of Liberty.
Is the best side the same for takeoff and landing?
Not always. The best side for takeoff depends on your departure airport's surroundings and typical departure routes, while landing views depend on the destination airport's approach paths. Our tool provides separate recommendations for takeoff and landing, plus an overall suggestion if you want to optimize for the entire flight.
How accurate are your recommendations?
Our recommendations are based on typical flight paths and geographic analysis. However, actual views can vary based on weather conditions, specific runway assignments on the day of travel, and airline-specific routing. We provide the statistically best choice, but views are never guaranteed.
Is this service free?
Yes, Which Side of the Plane is completely free. Simply enter your departure and arrival airports to get instant recommendations for the best window seat views on your flight.

Which side of the plane has the best views landing at Brunei International (BWN)?
When landing at Brunei International (BWN), sit on the Right side for the best views. Brunei International's primary runway (03/21) typically handles landings from the northwest, meaning final approach vectors favor a right-side view of the Brunei River estuary and the coastal plain. You'll see the river's distinctive meanders and the surrounding mangrove wetlands that characterize the approach corridor. Notable sights include: Brunei River estuary with visible meanders, mangrove forest patches along the river banks, Muara town and port facilities to the east, South China Sea horizon.
