Jutland Peninsula
Rolling Danish countryside and the Wadden Sea mudflats during departure.
North Sea Wind Farms
Massive offshore wind arrays dotting the North Sea expanse.
Essex Coastline
Aerial view of the Essex coastline and the Thames Estuary upon entering UK airspace.
Canary Wharf
Spectacular close-up views of the financial district skyscrapers during descent.
The O2 Arena
The iconic white canopy of the O2 is visible just seconds before touchdown.
For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to avoid obstructed views. The approach into LCY is famous for its steep 5.5-degree descent; if landing towards the west (Runway 27), the left side provides a front-row seat to the O2 and Canary Wharf. Evening flights are particularly stunning as the London skyline illuminates. Clear weather is frequent over the sea, but London is often hazy, so morning flights can offer the crispest views of the Thames.

Legoland Billund
A unique overhead view of Legoland and the Billund Airport infrastructure immediately after takeoff.

North Sea Shipping
Busy maritime traffic and cargo ships in the international shipping lanes.
Thames Barrier

East London Docks

The right side is excellent for views of the Danish coast and the intricate layout of Billund's airport and theme parks. During the final approach, you will see the industrial beauty of the Thames Barrier and the Royal Docks. If the flight arrives from the west via a 'point merge' pattern, you may get a wide sweep of the Greater London area. Choose this side if you prefer seeing the airport layout itself just before landing.
