Which side of the plane to sit from King Fahd International Airport (Dammam) to London Heathrow Airport (London)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior for its unparalleled views of the London skyline during the final descent, alongside magnificent vistas of the Anatolian mountains and the Danube River earlier in the journey.

Central London
Iconic views of the London Eye, Big Ben, and the Houses of Parliament.
Wembley Stadium
The massive arch of England's national stadium is often visible on the right during north-side approaches.
The right side is essential for the 'London Tour' landing. Most arrivals at LHR come from the east; sit here to see the City and West End landmarks. For the best experience, choose a flight arriving in the late afternoon to see the London skyline catch the golden hour sun. Avoid seats directly over the wing to ensure your view of the Thames is unobstructed.
