DME → LHR
Which side of the plane to sit from Domodedovo International Airport (Moscow) to London Heathrow Airport (London)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is the preferred choice for this route, primarily for the iconic aerial tour of Central London during the approach into Heathrow and better sunset visibility on afternoon departures.

Berlin Metropolitan Area
The expansive urban sprawl of the German capital, often visible depending on the specific air traffic corridor.
Dutch Polders
The unique, geometric reclaimed land and intricate canal systems of the Netherlands and the North Sea coast.
North Sea Crossing
Deep blue waters transitioning into the sandy estuaries of the Thames as the aircraft approaches the UK.
London Landmarks
Unrivaled views of the Shard, Tower Bridge, the London Eye, and the Thames on the standard approach to LHR.
The right side is essential for sunset views on evening flights. Most importantly, Heathrow usually lands from the east; if you are on the right, you get a front-row seat to London's skyline. Choose a seat forward of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the city landmarks during the descent.

Eastern European Forests
Vast stretches of dense pine forests and winding river systems across Belarus and Eastern Poland.
Central European Vistas
Glances of the historic city layouts and agricultural patterns of the Polish and German heartlands.
Rhine Valley
The twisting path of the Rhine River, dotted with vineyards and industrial hubs in Western Germany.
English Channel
Busy shipping lanes and the white cliffs of the southeastern English coast during the final descent.
The left side offers softer lighting during morning flights as the sun is positioned to the south. It provides excellent views of the Kent countryside and the southern outskirts of London. If the flight takes a more southerly route, you may catch distant glimpses of the Ardennes forest in Belgium.
