Which side of the plane to sit from Bergerac-Roumanière Airport (Bergerac) to London Stansted Airport (London)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers the most iconic geographical transitions, specifically the dramatic chalk cliffs on both the French and British coastlines and a potential distant view of the lights of Paris.

Périgord Landscapes
Dense green forests and limestone plateaus of the regional natural parks in southwestern France.
Distant Paris
On high-visibility days, look east mid-flight to see the urban sprawl of Paris and the distinctive shape of its outer suburbs.
Dieppe Cliffs
The stark white limestone cliffs of the Alabaster Coast as the aircraft leaves French airspace over the English Channel.
Beachy Head
The most famous aerial view of the flight: the brilliant white chalk cliffs and the red-and-white striped lighthouse on the UK south coast.
Thames Estuary
The massive shipping containers of the DP World London Gateway and the intricate sandbanks of the Thames mouth.
The Right Side is the clear winner for coastal geography. For the best view of the White Cliffs (Beachy Head/Seven Sisters), aim for a morning flight when the sun illuminates the cliff faces from the southeast. During the final approach to Stansted, this side provides an excellent perspective of the rural Essex landscape and historic village churches.

Dordogne River
Aerial views of the winding Dordogne River and the sprawling vineyards surrounding Bergerac immediately after takeoff.
Loire Valley Châteaux
Glance down at the central French landscape to spot the historic estates and grand architecture near Saumur and Angers.
London City Skyline
During the descent into Stansted, if the flight path tracks via the Lambourne arrival, the Shard and Canary Wharf are often visible to the west.
Solent Views
On clear days, you can see the distant waters of the Solent and the Isle of Wight to the far west.
Choose a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. This side is particularly rewarding during evening flights as the sun sets over the Atlantic, casting long shadows across the French countryside. Keep your camera ready as you pass the M25 motorway for a sense of scale of the London metropolis.
