Which side of the plane to sit from Dinard-Pleurtuit-Saint-Malo Airport (Dinard) to London Stansted Airport (London)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides the most dramatic views of the English coastline, specifically the white chalk cliffs of the Seven Sisters, and a sweeping view of the Thames Estuary and the Essex countryside during the descent.

Mont Saint-Michel
Looking east shortly after takeoff, the iconic island abbey can often be spotted on the horizon in clear weather.
Seven Sisters Cliffs
The brilliant white chalk cliffs of the Sussex coast near Beachy Head are a major highlight of the crossing.
Dartford Crossing
The Queen Elizabeth II Bridge and the M25 artery crossing the River Thames are clearly visible during the descent.
Thames Estuary
A bird's-eye view of the massive container ports at Tilbury and the winding path of the river toward the sea.
The right side is best for afternoon flights to capture the sun hitting the white cliffs of the South Downs. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes after takeoff for the English coastline. During landing, this side often sees the rural beauty of the Essex villages.

St. Malo Citadelle
A stunning aerial view of the historic walled port city and its granite ramparts immediately after departure.
Channel Islands
Clear views of Jersey and potentially Guernsey to the west as you cross the English Channel.
Central London Skyline
On specific northerly arrival paths, the skyscrapers of the City and Canary Wharf are visible in the distance.
Epping Forest
The dense ancient woodland provides a lush green canopy just before the final approach into Stansted.
Choose a seat in the front half of the cabin to avoid wing obstruction when looking for the Channel Islands. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the French coast and the London skyline without glare.
