Which side of the plane to sit from Nîmes-Arles-Camargue Airport (Nimes) to London Luton Airport (London)?
Right Side of the Plane

Cévennes National Park
The rugged, mountainous terrain of the Massif Central's southeastern edge visible shortly after takeoff from Nimes.
Paris Cityscape
Usually visible in the distance; look for the Eiffel Tower and the Montparnasse Tower sticking out above the urban sprawl.
The Somme Estuary
The wide, sandy mouth of the Somme River near Saint-Valery-sur-Somme before crossing the Channel.
English Channel Shipping
View of one of the world's busiest shipping lanes, with numerous cargo ships and ferries visible below.
Central London Skyline
On clear days, the descent often allows a view of The Shard, the City of London financial district, and the Thames.
The right side is the 'money' seat for urban geography lovers. Choose this side for a high chance of seeing the Paris metropolitan area and the best angle for the London skyline if the plane approaches Luton from the south. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting for these city views.

Loire Valley
Bird's eye view of the winding Loire River and the historic chateaux scattered throughout the French countryside.
Normandy Landscapes
The distinctive patchwork 'bocage' fields of northern France, characterized by small fields enclosed by tall thickets.
Alabaster Coast
The dramatic white chalk cliffs of Upper Normandy near Dieppe as the plane departs the French mainland.
The South Downs
The rolling green hills of Sussex and Hampshire as you cross into English airspace.
Chiltern Hills
Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty immediately surrounding the approach into Luton Airport.
Sit on the left for softer morning light when flying north. It is the best side for viewing the rugged coastline of Normandy. During the final approach, you may see the sprawling suburbs of West London and the M25 orbital motorway.
