Which side of the plane to sit from L.F. Wade International International Airport (Bermuda) to London Gatwick Airport (London)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this route because it faces north across the Atlantic, maximizing chances for Northern Lights sightings, and provides a front-row seat to the iconic South West English coastline and Isle of Wight during the descent.

Bermuda Great Sound
Exceptional views of the turquoise coral reefs and the pastel-colored houses of Hamilton shortly after departure.
Aurora Borealis
On clear winter nights, look north over the Atlantic for the potential to see the green curtains of the Northern Lights.
Cornish Coastline
Landfall typically provides views of Land's End and the rugged cliffs of the South West peninsula of England.
Jurassic Coast
A stunning view of the Dorset coastline featuring iconic chalk cliffs and natural rock formations like Durdle Door.
Isle of Wight
Detailed views of the Solent, the Needles, and the coastal towns of Cowes and Ryde during the descent.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. This side avoids direct sun glare during the morning arrival into the UK, which is vital for clear photography. If flying between November and March, monitor the skies for Aurora activity during the mid-flight darkness.

The right side is ideal for passengers who enjoy watching the sunrise over the Atlantic. However, be prepared for high-intensity sunlight in the final hours of the flight; high-quality sunglasses are recommended. On final approach to Gatwick, this side often offers views of the Brighton coastline if the wind is from the west.
