Tips for Choosing an Everest Flight Tour Seat
- Kindly ask for a seat either in the front or rear sections of the aircraft to minimize the wing’s obstruction of your view.
- Feel free to request a seat on the left side for a wide, panoramic vista of the mountains or opt for the right side to relish up-close, awe-inspiring mountain views teeming with intricate details.
