Which side of the plane to sit from Košice Airport (Kosice) to London Luton Airport (London)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is favored for its immediate views of the dramatic High Tatras after takeoff and superior vantage points over the Dutch coastline and the Thames Estuary during the descent into London.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

High Tatras

The highest range of the Carpathians with sharp, jagged granite peaks visible almost immediately after takeoff.

🏰

Prague Cityscape

The Vltava River winding through the Czech capital, identifiable by its numerous bridges and historic towers.

🌲

Harz Mountains

The highest mountain range in Northern Germany, featuring deep valleys and the prominent Brocken peak.

🌊

Dutch Delta Works

The incredible engineering of dams and dikes along the Zeeland province as you exit the European mainland.

💨

London Array

Massive offshore wind farms in the Thames Estuary appearing as white dots against the dark North Sea.

The right side is essential for the High Tatras; sit here if departing early morning for the best shadows on the peaks. As you approach Luton, this side typically offers the best view of the Thames Estuary and the Essex coastline. Keep an eye out for the distinctive O2 Arena and the Docklands if the flight path tracks slightly south before turning into Luton.

⛰️

Low Tatras

The densely forested ridges of the Low Tatras mountains stretch across central Slovakia shortly after departure.

🚜

Moravian Countryside

Intricate patterns of agricultural fields across the Czech Republic's Moravian-Silesian region.

🚢

Port of Rotterdam

Glimpses of the massive shipping infrastructure and container terminals along the Rhine-Meuse-Scheldt delta.

🏖️

Belgian Coastline

The continuous strip of sandy beaches and seaside resorts including Ostend and Blankenberge.

🌳

Garden of England

The rolling hills, hop gardens, and orchards of Kent as the aircraft crosses into British airspace.

Sit on the left for softer lighting during midday flights heading west. This side offers better views of the English Channel crossing and the dense industrial heartlands of Germany and Belgium. During the final approach into Luton, you may catch views of the M25 and the sprawling outskirts of South London depending on the landing pattern.
