ncgolferette Posted March 17, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 17, 2023 I’ll be flying to Tokyo from Atlanta mid June. The flight departs Atlanta at 13:00 hours so I’m assuming most of the 14 flight could be in daylight. Would one side of the plane be better than the other to avoid direct sunlight?

The route will be northwesterly up towards Canada and Alaska. Then southwest towards Japan. I bet there will be darkness at some point, but the starboard (right side) of the plane will have less sun.

Globaliser Posted March 17, 2023 #3 Share Posted March 17, 2023 https://sunflight.org/ says all in daylight, 66% sun on the left, 34% sun on the right (towards the end of the flight). I don't know how much maintenance is done on that site now, but I suspect that the basics are unlikely to be far wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
