Which side of the plane to sit from Iaşi Airport (Iasi) to London Luton Airport (London)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic High Tatra mountains and the intricate coastline of the Low Countries before entering UK airspace.
High Tatra Mountains
Spectacular jagged peaks along the border of Slovakia and Poland, often snow-capped well into spring.
Prague Region
The flight path often passes near the Vltava River, offering views of the Bohemian landscape.
The Ruhr Valley
Germany's most densely populated industrial region, appearing as a massive continuous urban sprawl.
Zeeland & Delta Works
The complex coastline of the Netherlands, featuring incredible water management engineering and islands.
Thames Estuary
Views of massive offshore wind farms and the winding river leading toward the heart of England.
The right side is ideal for morning departures as the sun will be behind the aircraft, perfectly illuminating the Tatra Mountains. Keep an eye out for the massive Delta Works in the Netherlands and the distinct grid patterns of the East Anglian countryside upon arrival.
Southern Carpathians
Aerial views of the rugged Făgăraș and Retezat peaks shortly after departure from Iași.
Lake Balaton
Central Europe's largest lake, easily recognizable by its elongated shape and pale green water.
Frankfurt am Main
The distinctive skyscraper cluster of Germany's financial hub is often visible along the Main River.
English Channel
The crossing from continental Europe into British airspace, often showing busy shipping lanes.
London Cityscape
On specific approach patterns into Luton, the distant skyline of central London can be seen to the south.
Choose a window seat in front of the wing for unobstructed views of the Southern Carpathians. On the descent into Luton, the left side often catches a glimpse of the central London skyline if the approach path tracks from the east over Essex.
