Tonight's window-seat picks
Outbound bearing from EGPK → which side of the aircraft faces the northern sky.
| Flight | Departs | To | Initial track | Aurora-side seat | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FR655Ryanair | 16:20 | MalagaAGP | 180° S | LEFT side | daylight |
| FR7823Ryanair | 17:45 | Barcelona El Prat | — | — | unknown route |
| FR4367Ryanair | 19:50 | FaroFAO | 188° S | RIGHT side | daylight |
| FR691Ryanair | 19:50 | AlicanteALC | 169° S | LEFT side | daylight |
Method: bearing from EGPK to destination → if outbound track is 0–180° the LEFT side faces north (and the auroral oval); 180–360° the RIGHT side faces north. Long-haul routes tracking up the North Atlantic skew left-side.
