We usually fly in late May or June. It's an overnight flight following
a great circle path. The flight departs in early evening and as you
fly toward the northeast the sun is off the left wing (I try to get
seats n the right side). As you fly over Canada and approach Greenland
the sun remains off the left wing. It never ctually sets and as you
fly from Greenland down to England the sun remains off the left wing.
But when you land in the morning there it's the next day.

You're in the northern hemisphere and the sun's in the north-west?

At my northern hemisphere location the sun set half an hour ago at
317 degrees. West is 270, north-west 315.
