LCA → LTN
Which side of the plane to sit from Larnaca International Airport (Larnaca) to London Luton Airport (London)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior lighting conditions for photography and better views of the Mediterranean islands, the dramatic southern slopes of the Alps, and a higher probability of seeing the London skyline on approach.
Greek Archipelago
Exquisite views of the Dodecanese and Cyclades islands scattered across the azure Mediterranean Sea.
The Alpine Chain
Spectacular vistas of the snow-capped Austrian and Swiss Alps as you traverse Central Europe.
Rhine Valley
The winding Rhine River and its historic surroundings as the flight crosses towards the Benelux region.
English Channel
Clear views of the busy shipping lanes and the transition from continental Europe to the British Isles.
London Skyline
On standard approaches into Luton from the south, the City of London and the Shard are often visible to the left.
Choose a window seat mid-cabin or forward to avoid wing obstruction. On daytime flights, the sun will be behind you or to the side, providing excellent lighting for landscape photos of the Mediterranean and Central Europe. Keep your eyes peeled 20 minutes before landing for a potential glimpse of central London.
Turkish Riviera
Distant views of the Taurus Mountains and the turquoise coastline near Antalya shortly after departure.
Danube River
Multiple crossings of Europe's second-longest river as it winds through the Balkan Peninsula.
German Highlands
Expansive views of the dense forests and rolling hills of the German interior.
Rotterdam Ports
Aerial view of one of the world's largest port complexes and the complex Dutch polder systems.
East Anglian Fens
The unique, flat, and highly patterned agricultural landscape of eastern England during descent.
The right side is excellent for seeing the diverse topography of the Balkans. However, be aware of glare during morning flights as the sun will be on this side of the aircraft. It provides great views of the North Sea coastline and the Thames Estuary during the final approach phase into the Luton area.
