DOL β LCY
Which side of the plane to sit from Deauville-Saint-Gatien Airport (Deauville) to London City Airport (London)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this short hop, offering the best views of the iconic Deauville beachfront upon departure and a higher probability of seeing the central London skyline, including The Shard and Tower Bridge, during the steep approach into London City Airport.
CΓ΄te Fleurie
Immediate views of the prestigious beaches and boardwalks of Deauville and Trouville-sur-Mer after takeoff.
The English Channel
A clear view across the 'La Manche' shipping lanes towards the distant horizon.
White Cliffs of Sussex
Often passes west of Beachy Head, providing a side-on view of the dramatic chalk cliff faces near Eastbourne.
The Weald of Kent
The lush 'Garden of England' landscape, characterized by rolling hills and traditional oast houses.
Central London Skyline
On the final approach to Runway 09 or 27, you get a breathtaking view of the City's skyscrapers and the River Thames.
Sit in an 'A' seat for the best panoramic views. On the final approach into LCY, the left side typically offers the most iconic views of the London skyline, especially if the aircraft follows the Thames. For morning flights, this side avoids the direct southern glare while crossing the Channel.
Port of Le Havre
Excellent views of the massive industrial shipping containers and the mouth of the River Seine.
Pont de Normandie
The stunning cable-stayed bridge connecting Honfleur to Le Havre is visible shortly after departure.
Brighton & Hove
Depending on the ATC corridor, you may see the vibrant coastline and the famous pier of Brighton.
The O2 Arena
A clear, close-up view of the white canopy of the O2 and the Greenwich Peninsula during the descent.
Thames Estuary
Views of the Dartford Crossing and the winding industrial path of the river as it enters London.
Choose an 'F' seat to see the Seine estuary and Le Havre immediately. This side is particularly impressive during the very final moments of the LCY landing (Runway 27), as it looks directly over Greenwich and the Cutty Sark. Late afternoon flights provide beautiful lighting on the English coastline from this side.
