AHO β LTN
Which side of the plane to sit from Alghero-Fertilia Airport (Alghero) to London Luton Airport (London)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for the rugged interior of Corsica, distant views of the snow-capped French Alps, and a high probability of seeing the Paris skyline and the Thames Estuary during descent.
Corsican Interior
Stunning views of the island's mountainous spine, including the often snow-dusted peak of Monte Cinto.
Distant French Alps
On clear days, the horizon to the east reveals the massive peaks of the French and Swiss Alps.
RhΓ΄ne Valley
The flight path follows the fertile valley known for its world-class vineyards and the winding RhΓ΄ne River.
Paris Cityscape
Usually passes far enough east to see the sprawling urban density of Paris, including the Eiffel Tower on clear days.
Strait of Dover
Views of the world's busiest shipping lane and the iconic White Cliffs of Dover during the approach to England.
London Skyline
Depending on the LTN arrival pattern, you may see the Shard and the City of London to the south during descent.
The right side is ideal for avoiding direct glare on northbound flights during the day. It offers the best chance to spot major European landmarks like the Alps and Paris. During the descent into Luton, keep your window shade up for a panoramic view of the Greater London area and the Thames Estuary.
Capo Caccia
Dramatic limestone cliffs and the Neptune's Grotto area visible immediately after takeoff from Alghero.
Western Corsica
Aerial views of the Scandola Nature Reserve, featuring striking red volcanic rock formations and hidden coves.
Loire Valley
The 'Garden of France' reveals its patchwork of vineyards and historic chateaus as you head north.
Normandy Coast
The coastline of northern France and the wide expanse of the English Channel before the UK crossing.
The Chilterns
Rolling green hills and ancient woodlands characteristic of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty near Luton.
Sit on the left for the most dramatic departure views of Sardinia's coastline. This side is also preferred for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Atlantic horizon as you approach the UK. Keep an eye out for the distinct shape of the Isle of Wight in the distance during the Channel crossing.
