AMM → LHR
Which side of the plane to sit from Queen Alia International Airport (Amman) to London Heathrow Airport (London)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Aegean Sea, the rugged Dalmatian Coast, and the most dramatic sections of the Alpine range, followed by a prime view of London's landmarks on approach.
Jordan Valley
Aerial perspective of the arid rift valley and the northern basin of the Dead Sea.
Cyprus
Excellent views of the Troodos Mountains and the coastal cities of Limassol and Paphos.
Dalmatian Coast
The intricate network of islands and turquoise bays along the Croatian coastline.
Central Alps
Spectacular, close-up views of the snow-capped peaks across Austria, Germany, and Switzerland.
London Landmarks
The best view of the Shard, Tower Bridge, and the London Eye when landing on Runway 27R.
For morning flights, the right side is preferred as the sun will be on the opposite side, reducing glare for photography. Choose a seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Alpine glaciers. On arrival, most flights follow a 'stack' pattern that circles over London, offering prime views of the Thames.
Tel Aviv Skyline
View the white city and the Israeli coastline shortly after departing Jordanian airspace.
Mediterranean Azure
Deep blue waters and remote cargo ships during the long cruise toward Europe.
Crete and Greece
Distant views of the southern Greek islands and the Mediterranean's largest island.
Southern Alps
A glimpse of the southern ridges of the Alps as you transition from Italy toward France.
Windsor Castle
Often visible on the final descent into LHR if the aircraft is landing toward the west.
Sit on the left for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Mediterranean. This side is also excellent for viewing the southern suburbs of London and the historic Windsor estate during the final approach on Runway 27L.
