I'm SOPH as I always take the sunny side of the a/c!
I also take my sunglasses with me so that I can enjoy the view.
I recall one flight to HKG (I think) when the CC walked down the aisle with a long handled pole and closed the blinds of those that were sleeping by reaching over them. I was awake (natch) and prevented her from touching mine. I recall that I was in Y and determined to see as much of the landscape as I could. If this WAS the time I was doing a contract in HKG, then it was VS.
Next year, I am hoping to go to NZ for the first time and even if I go West-about, I shall have the blind open on the sunny side of the plane.
