The MacBook Air at least still supports USB-C power, which is useful for USB-C monitors that also supply power. But I still think you need to plug it in on the right side to avoid overheating the laptop (the MBA at least doesn't have a fan, so I can't tell if this is still true or not).

My 2021 MBP 16" M1 Max doesn't get hot with the USB-C power connected to the left side. Unknown if that's still an issue with the Air.

It would be pretty hard to put a charge on the right side as it only have a headphone jack there every other port (2xUSB+Magsafe) is on the left.
On the other hand, my M1 Pro MacBook Pro don't have any problem charging on either side, not like my previous Intel.
