LCY β DOL
Which side of the plane to sit from London City Airport (London) to Deauville-Saint-Gatien Airport (Deauville)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the iconic London skyline shortly after takeoff from LCY and provides a better perspective of the Normandy coastline and the famous beaches near Deauville during the final approach.
Central London Skyline
Spectacular views of The Shard, Tower Bridge, and the City of London if the aircraft loops west after takeoff.
South Downs
Fly over the rolling green hills and white chalk ridges of the South Downs National Park in Southern England.
CΓ΄te Fleurie
A stunning view of the Deauville and Trouville-sur-Mer beachfronts, famous for their boardwalks and colorful parasols.
The right side is ideal for capturing the quintessential London skyline photos during the initial climb. During the descent into DOL, keep your camera ready for the contrast between the deep blue English Channel and the lush green countryside of Normandy.
Canary Wharf & O2
Unmatched views of the financial district skyscrapers and the O2 Arena immediately after departure from London City.
Thames Estuary
Watch the River Thames widen into the North Sea, featuring busy shipping lanes and the London Gateway port.
Le Havre Port
As you approach the French coast, look for the massive industrial port and modern architecture of Le Havre across the Seine.
Sit on the left for the best morning light when flying south, as the sun will be on the opposite side of the aircraft. This side is also excellent for viewing the intricate sandbanks of the Thames Estuary during low tide.
