Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Pyrenees, the Loire Valley's winding rivers, and the iconic London skyline during the descent into Luton.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏔️

Pyrenees Mountains

Stunning snow-capped peaks forming the natural border between Spain and France.

🍷

Loire Valley

Glittering views of France's longest river and the historic chateaux scattered across the valley.

🗼

Paris Suburbs

On clear days, the distant silhouette of the Eiffel Tower and the dense urban sprawl of Paris.

🎡

London City Skyline

Panoramic views of the Shard, the Gherkin, and the Thames during the northern approach to Luton.

🏟️

Wembley Stadium

The iconic arch of England's national stadium is often visible during the final descent phase.

The right side is the 'money side' for this route. Request a window seat away from the wing for an unobstructed view of the Pyrenees. For evening flights, you will be treated to a spectacular sunset over the wing as you head north.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏜️

Spanish Meseta

Expansive views of the high plateau of central Spain with its unique ochre landscapes.

🌊

Bay of Biscay Coast

Dramatic views of the rugged coastline where Spain meets the Atlantic near San Sebastian.

🚤

Solent and Isle of Wight

Aerial perspective of the English Channel's busiest shipping lanes and the diamond-shaped island.

🌳

Chiltern Hills

The lush green landscapes of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty just before touchdown.

Sit on the left for better lighting during morning flights to avoid direct glare. This side is also excellent for spotting the French Atlantic coast if the flight path takes a more westerly route over the Bay of Biscay.
