EZELHR

Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is superior for this route as it offers the iconic Buenos Aires skyline upon departure and the most consistent views of the London city center during the standard approach into Heathrow.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌆

Buenos Aires & Rio de la Plata

Aerial views of the sprawling Argentine capital and the world's widest estuary immediately after takeoff.

🏖️

Northeastern Brazil

As the flight tracks north, the left side often glimpses the lights or coastline near Recife and Natal.

🌄

Atlantic Sunrise

A beautiful sunrise over the ocean as the aircraft moves toward the northern hemisphere.

🏰

Iberian Peninsula

Entry into the European continent typically over the scenic coasts of Portugal or Western Spain.

🎡

Central London Skyline

On the standard 'River' arrival (Runway 27R/L), this side provides a breathtaking panorama of the Shard, Tower Bridge, and the City.

Choose a seat in the front or middle of the cabin to avoid wing obstruction. For the London arrival, the left side is the 'money shot' for sightseeing if the wind is from the west. This side also stays in the shade for most of the morning, preventing cabin glare.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🌊

Uruguayan Coastline

Initial views of the Atlantic beaches of Uruguay, including the famous resort town of Punta del Este.

✨

Stargazing

The right side faces the deep Atlantic during the overnight stretch, offering incredible views of the stars away from light pollution.

🏝️

Macaronesian Islands

Potential distant sightings of the Canary Islands or Madeira depending on the specific flight corridor.

🚢

Bay of Biscay

Crossing the historic waters between Spain and France before entering UK airspace.

🏰

Windsor Castle

During the final descent into LHR, the right side often gets a close-up view of the Royal residence in Berkshire.

If you enjoy watching the sunrise directly, the right side is your best bet as the plane travels north-northeast. Be aware that the sun can be quite intense during the mid-morning hours before arrival in London.
