BOJ → LTN
Which side of the plane to sit from Burgas Airport (Bourgas) to London Luton Airport (London)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most dramatic scenery, featuring the Balkan ranges shortly after takeoff, distant views of the Alps over Central Europe, and the best chance to see the London skyline during the approach to Luton.

Balkan Mountains
Dramatic views of the Stara Planina and Rila ranges as you climb out of Bulgaria.
Lake Balaton
The 'Hungarian Sea' is clearly visible with its distinct turquoise hue when crossing Hungary.
Austrian Alps
On clear days, the jagged, snow-capped peaks of the Alps are visible on the southern horizon.
Brussels Cityscape
Bird's-eye view of the Belgian capital and its sprawling urban layout.
London Landmarks
Depending on the arrival pattern, catch the Shard and the Thames as you descend into the UK.
For the best lighting, choose the left side on morning flights as the sun will be positioned behind the aircraft. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing, as air traffic control often vectors flights from the southeast near the City of London before turning north toward Luton.

Danube River
Follow the winding path of Europe's second-longest river through the Balkan plains.
Prague & Central Europe
Spot the historic spires of Prague and the Vltava river if the flight path tracks north over Czechia.
Rhine River Valley
Observe the industrial heartland of Germany and the busy shipping lanes of the Rhine.
English Channel Coast
View the white cliffs of the Kent coastline as you transition from Continental Europe to the UK.
East Anglian Countryside
The final approach offers views of the patchworked green fields of Essex and Hertfordshire.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight glare. It offers a more consistent view of the major river systems of Europe. Watch for the North Sea coastline as you cross from the Netherlands toward the UK, which is particularly striking at sunset.
