Local note

The bit the data can't tell you — the reason this page beats Google Maps.

Book a late-afternoon slot around 6–7pm: one 30-minute rotation then catches both the sunset and the city light-up. But afternoon thunderstorms routinely suspend flights, so aim for a dry-looking evening rather than committing days ahead.
