Search flights from CMN to LHR
Strait of Gibraltar
A stunning view of the narrow passage where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic, separating Morocco and Spain.
Spanish Meseta
The high-altitude central plateau of Spain, featuring unique ochre-colored landscapes and mountain ridges.
Pyrenees Mountains
The western edges of the Pyrenees range, often snow-capped during winter and spring months.
Loire Valley
The 'Garden of France,' known for its winding rivers and historic chateaux visible through the clouds.
London Landmarks
If the flight approaches Heathrow from the east (Runway 27), you get a premier view of the Thames, Shard, and Big Ben.
The right side is significantly better for landmarks. Aim for a flight arriving during daylight hours to see the Spanish interior clearly. If the wind is from the west, the right side usually offers the famous 'London Tour' approach over the city center.

Atlantic Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean and the western edge of the African continent.
Portuguese Coastline
Occasional distant views of the Algarve and the rugged western cliffs of the Iberian Peninsula.
Brittany Peninsula
As the flight crosses the Bay of Biscay, look for the craggy coastline of western France.
Isle of Wight
The distinct diamond shape of the Isle of Wight visible just before the descent into the London area.
The left side is ideal for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Atlantic. It also provides a quieter, more meditative view of the open sea before reaching the English coast.
