Tonight's window-seat picks

Outbound bearing from EGPK → which side of the aircraft faces the northern sky.

No scheduled departures in the next 8 hours.

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.
