IEV β LTN
Which side of the plane to sit from Kiev Zhuliany International Airport (Kiev) to London Luton Airport (London)?
Left Side of the Plane
While both sides offer diverse European views, the left side provides a superior perspective of Central European cities and the iconic London skyline during the approach into Luton.
KrakΓ³w
Aerial view of the Vistula River and the historic Polish city center.
Frankfurt am Main
Glittering glass towers of Germany's financial hub visible from cruising altitude.
Brussels Metropolis
The dense urban sprawl and landmarks of the Belgian capital.
English Channel
The narrow crossing between the European continent and the British Isles.
Greater London
Panoramic views of the Thames, The Shard, and the London Eye during descent.
Sit on the left for the best views of the London skyline during the standard arrival patterns into Luton. On late afternoon flights, the sun will be behind you for most of the westward journey, reducing glare and providing optimal lighting for photography of the European landscape.
Kiev Cityscape
Immediate views of the Dnieper River and Kiev's golden domes after takeoff.
Warsaw Skyline
The modern skyscrapers and the Palace of Culture and Science in Poland's capital.
Dutch Coastline
Intricate canal systems and the unique geography of the Netherlands' shore.
North Sea Wind Farms
Massive offshore renewable energy arrays scattered across the water.
East Anglian Fens
The distinctively flat, grid-like agricultural patterns of eastern England.
The right side is ideal for morning departures from Kiev to catch the sunrise reflecting off the Dnieper River. It also offers the best view of the Dutch coastline and the industrial North Sea traffic before crossing into English airspace over East Anglia.
