BLR → LHR
Which side of the plane to sit from Kempegowda International Airport (Bangalore) to London Heathrow Airport (London)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is highly recommended primarily for the iconic 'River Thames' approach into London Heathrow, which offers an unparalleled aerial tour of Central London landmarks like the London Eye and the Shard.

Arabian Sea
Vast expanse of deep blue water visible as the aircraft leaves the western coast of India.
Persian Gulf Coast
Observe the intricate coastline and desert landscapes of the Arabian Peninsula.
European Alps
Spectacular views of the southern ridges of the Alps across Central Europe.
London Skyline
On a standard westerly landing, you will see the Tower Bridge, the Shard, and Big Ben.
For the best experience, choose a seat well ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of London during the descent. Since this is a westbound flight, the sun will be on the left (south) side for most of the day; keep your window shade down during the mid-flight cruise to avoid heat and glare, but open it 30 minutes before landing.

Western Ghats
Lush, green mountain ranges visible shortly after takeoff from Bangalore.
Caspian Sea
The world's largest inland body of water with unique coastal formations.
Caucasus Mountains
Breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks, including Mount Elbrus, on the border of Asia and Europe.
Windsor Castle
A stunning view of the historic royal residence just seconds before touching down at Heathrow.
The right side is ideal for passengers who prefer softer lighting, as it faces north away from the direct sun. It offers superior views of the rugged Caucasus terrain. If the aircraft is in a holding pattern or approaching from the east, keep an eye out for the massive sprawl of Windsor Castle on your right side during the final seconds of the flight.
