Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers the most iconic views of the Thames southern bank landmarks during the steep London City departure, followed by the scenic Kent coastline and a prime perspective of Antwerp's historic city center on final approach.

Right Side Highlights

Kent Coastline

Views of the Isle of Sheppey and the white cliffs near Margate as the flight heads toward the North Sea.

🏖️

Knokke-Heist

The upscale Belgian seaside resort town and the adjacent Zwin Nature Park salt marshes on the border.

⛪

Antwerp Cathedral

A stunning view of the Cathedral of Our Lady and the historic Grote Markt just before touchdown at Deurne.

🏙️

Canary Wharf

A close-up view of the towering financial district skyscrapers immediately following takeoff from Runway 09.

🎢

Southend Pier
