Which side of the plane to sit from A Coruña Airport (La Coruna) to London Heathrow Airport (London)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic Galician coastline upon departure, the French Brittany coast mid-flight, and the iconic London skyline during the approach to Heathrow.

Rías Altas
Immediate views of the rugged estuaries and jagged cliffs of northern Galicia shortly after takeoff from A Coruña.
Brittany Coastline
The western tip of France, including the historic port of Brest, often becomes visible as the plane crosses towards the UK.
Isle of Wight
The distinctive diamond shape of the island and the Needles rock formations as you enter British airspace.
Central London
If the flight is vectored for a standard easterly arrival, you will see the Thames, the Shard, and the London Eye.
Wembley Stadium
Look for the iconic white arch of the national stadium during the northern circuit of the Heathrow arrival pattern.
For the best experience, book a seat behind the wing to ensure engine glare doesn't block the view of the Galician coast. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the French and English coastlines. This side is most likely to see the famous London 'fly-by' if there is air traffic congestion, offering a free aerial tour of the city.

Atlantic Horizon
Vast, unobstructed views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean as you head north through the Bay of Biscay.
English Channel Shipping
Spotting large cargo vessels and tankers navigating one of the world's busiest maritime trade routes.
Windsor Castle
On a westerly approach to Heathrow, this side provides a clear view of the historic royal residence just minutes before landing.
The left side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Atlantic. If the flight lands toward the west (Runway 27L/R), sit here to see Windsor Castle. However, be aware that much of the mid-flight is over open water with limited geographic landmarks.
