GRO โ†’ LTN

Which side of the plane to sit from Girona Airport (Gerona) to London Luton Airport (London)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a high probability of viewing the Paris cityscape mid-flight and an iconic aerial perspective of the London skyline and the Thames Estuary during the descent into Luton.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
โ›ฐ๏ธ

Massif Central

Rugged volcanic plateaus and deep gorges of central France visible during mid-cruise.

๐Ÿ—ผ

Paris Cityscape

The dense urban grid of Paris with the Eiffel Tower often visible in the distance.

โšช

White Cliffs of Dover

Iconic views of the English coastline and the busy shipping lanes of the Strait of Dover.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

London Skyline

A panoramic view of the Shard, the Gherkin, and the Thames during the approach to Luton.

๐ŸŸ๏ธ

Wembley Stadium

The massive white arch of Wembley is a common landmark seen during the final descent.

Choose the right side for sunset flights to catch the evening glow over the Alps (far distance) and the French interior. During the descent into Luton, planes often circle south of London, offering the right side an incredible view of the city center. Be sure to check for cloud cover over Paris, as this is the flight's scenic highlight.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Pyrenees Range

Dramatic snow-capped peaks visible almost immediately after departing Girona.

๐Ÿฐ

Loire Valley

The winding Loire River and numerous historic French chรขteaux dotting the landscape.

๐ŸŒŠ

Alabaster Coast

The striking white chalk cliffs of Normandy as the aircraft leaves French airspace.

๐Ÿšœ

English Countryside

The patchwork fields of East Sussex and Kent during the initial UK entry.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. The view of the Pyrenees is brief but spectacular, so stay alert in the first 15 minutes of the flight. Look for the distinct blue-green waters of the Baie de Somme as you approach the English Channel.
