Which side of the plane to sit from Béziers-Vias Airport (Beziers) to London Luton Airport (London)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a superior view of France's volcanic core, the Auvergne region, and a more dramatic perspective of the London skyline and the Thames Estuary during the descent into Luton.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌋

Chaîne des Puys

The spectacular alignment of dormant volcanoes in the Massif Central, including the famous Puy de Dôme.

🗼

Paris Distant View

On clear days, the distant silhouette of the Eiffel Tower and the skyscrapers of La Défense are visible to the east.

🚢

Straits of Dover

A clear view of the world's busiest shipping lane and the narrowest part of the English Channel.

🏙️

London Skyline

During the standard arrival patterns for Luton, passengers often get a sweeping view of The Shard, Canary Wharf, and the City.

🎡

Dartford Crossing

The iconic QEII Bridge and the industrial landscape of the Thames Estuary during the final descent.

The right side is essential for seeing the volcanic landscapes of central France early in the flight. As you approach London, the right side usually provides the best view of the metropolitan sprawl. For evening flights, you may see the lights of Paris twinkling in the distance to the east.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏖️

Golfe du Lion

Panoramic views of the Mediterranean coastline and the Etang de Thau shortly after takeoff from Béziers.

⛰️

Grands Causses

Dramatic limestone plateaus and deep gorges of the southern Massif Central, including the Tarn valley.

🏰

Loire Valley Châteaux

Bird's-eye view of the historic estates and the winding river through the heart of France.

🌊

Normandy Coast

The transition from the French mainland to the English Channel, often passing near the port of Dieppe.

🌳

The Chilterns

An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in England, featuring rolling green hills just before landing.

Sit on the left for the best morning light during a northward flight, which avoids direct glare. It provides a great view of the French Atlantic coastline if the flight path is shifted westward by weather. Keep an eye out for the white cliffs near Eastbourne if the route crosses the coast there.
