I got caught out on this a few weeks ago on a BA flight LHR to MIA.
We were sat on the right side (J/K seats) thinking we would be out of the sun for the flight. Except that our routing from London took us across the North Atlantic to Newfoundland, then we turned south & tracked all the way along the coast of the U.S. towards MIA.
So with the sun setting the West, we ended up with it on our side of the aircraft for hours.
I guess you win some, you lose some eh
