Which side of the plane to sit from Isle of Man Airport (Isle Of Man) to London City Airport (London)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior for its sweeping views of the Welsh mountains during cruise and the iconic, low-altitude approach over the River Thames and London's skyscrapers into London City Airport.

Snowdonia (Eryri)
Magnificent views of the highest peaks in Wales across the Liverpool Bay on clear days.
Chester & River Dee
The distinctive medieval walls and Roman layout of Chester are often visible as you head south.
The O2 Arena
A spectacular bird's-eye view of the white dome on the Greenwich Peninsula during the final approach.
Canary Wharf
Stunningly close views of the financial district's skyscrapers as the plane maneuvers for landing.
Thames Barriers
The futuristic silver hoods of the flood defense system located just moments before touchdown.
The right side is essential for the 'London City Experience.' Most approaches (Runway 09) offer a dramatic panorama of the Thames. For the best photos of Canary Wharf and the Shard, ensure your window is clear and sit behind the wing to avoid engine obstruction during the steep descent.
