Hindu Kush & Pamir
Spectacular views of high-altitude peaks and deep valleys across Afghanistan and Tajikistan.
Caspian Sea
Cross the world's largest inland sea, often seeing the offshore oil rigs near Baku, Azerbaijan.
Caucasus Mountains
A front-row seat to the snow-capped Great Caucasus range, including the towering Mount Elbrus.
European Heartland
Detailed views of the Danube River and the patchwork of German and Belgian forests.
The City of London
On the standard LHR arrival, enjoy unmatched views of The Shard, Tower Bridge, and Canary Wharf.
The right side is ideal for capturing the high-contrast terrain of Central Asia and the Caucasus in the morning or midday light. It is also the preferred side for the 'London sightseeing' approach if the aircraft lands toward the west (Runway 27R). Seats forward of the wing are recommended to avoid engine heat haze affecting photos of the mountains.

Andaman Islands
View the scattered emerald islands and coral reefs of the Andaman archipelago early in the flight.
Zagros Mountains
Witness the incredible folded rock formations and arid ridges stretching across Iran.
Southern Alps
On clear days, catch the glaciated peaks of the European Alps as you transition toward the UK.
Westminster & South Bank
During a Westerly approach to LHR, see the London Eye, Big Ben, and the Houses of Parliament.
Choose the left side for spectacular sunset views over Western Asia during evening flights. If landing on Runway 27L at Heathrow, this side provides the most direct view of the UK Parliament and central London landmarks. Be aware that the afternoon sun can be intense on this side when flying westward.
