FAO → LTN
Which side of the plane to sit from Faro Airport (Faro) to London Luton Airport (London)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is slightly superior due to the initial views of the Ria Formosa nature park and the high probability of a stunning panoramic view of the London skyline during the descent into Luton.
Ria Formosa
Stunning lagoons, sandbanks, and barrier islands immediately visible after takeoff from Faro.
Alentejo Plains
The vast, golden-hued rural landscapes and cork oak forests of southern and central Portugal.
Mont-Saint-Michel
Depending on the specific airway, the famous tidal island monastery may be visible off the French coast.
Portsmouth & Solent
The historic dockyards, Spinnaker Tower, and the busy maritime traffic of the Solent strait.
London Skyline
A spectacular view of the City, the Shard, and Canary Wharf as the plane tracks north toward Luton.
The right side is essential for the Ria Formosa views at takeoff. For the best London skyline experience, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure your view isn't obstructed during the descent maneuvers into LTN.
Atlantic Coastline
Deep blue views of the Atlantic Ocean and the rugged western Algarve cliffs during initial climb.
Picos de Europa
The dramatic, jagged limestone peaks of Northern Spain as you approach the Bay of Biscay.
Brittany Peninsula
The intricate coastline of western France, featuring numerous islands and rocky inlets near Brest.
Isle of Wight
Excellent views of the Needles and the diamond-shaped island while crossing the English Channel.
The South Downs
Green rolling hills of the English countryside as the flight prepares for its final descent.
Sit on the left for better sunset views during evening flights and for a clearer look at the Picos de Europa mountains in Spain. It is also the better side for viewing the western edge of the English Channel.
