LCY → LUX
Which side of the plane to sit from London City Airport (London) to Luxembourg-Findel International Airport (Luxemburg)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer incredible views of London during the steep departure from LCY, the Right Side typically provides a superior view of the O2 Arena and Greenwich on takeoff, followed by the winding Meuse River valley and the most scenic approach over the Ardennes forest and Luxembourg City.

O2 Arena & Greenwich
Perfect overhead view of the dome, the Cutty Sark, and the Royal Observatory during departure.
The Garden of England
Aerial views of the lush Kent countryside, orchards, and the towers of Canterbury Cathedral.
Distant White Cliffs
On clear days, the iconic white chalk cliffs of Dover are visible as you cross the English Channel.
Meuse River Valley
Dramatic river bends and limestone cliffs near the historic cities of Namur and Dinant.
The Ardennes
A vast expanse of dense forest and deep valleys as you enter the final approach phase.
Luxembourg City
Spectacular views of the Alzette River valley, the Adolphe Bridge, and the historic Grund district.
The right side is ideal for the descent into LUX, often passing directly over the scenic Ardennes. For sunset flights, this side catches the warm glow over the Meuse valley. Be aware that LCY departures are very steep; keep your camera ready as landmarks appear and disappear quickly.
Book Hotels in Luxemburg
Canary Wharf & The City
Unrivaled views of the London financial district and the Shard immediately after the steep takeoff.
Thames Estuary
The industrial heart of the UK featuring massive shipping docks and the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge.
Belgian Coastline
Clear views of the North Sea resorts including Ostend and the bustling port of Zeebrugge.
Medieval Bruges
Look for the distinct Belfry of Bruges and the network of canals cutting through the historic city.
Brussels Skyline
A distant but clear view of the Belgian capital and the iconic Atomium structure to the north.
Sit on the left for the most direct views of London's skyline if the wind dictates a westward takeoff. During the morning, this side avoids direct glare, providing better visibility for the Belgian landscape. Watch for the change from flat coastal plains to the rolling hills of Wallonia.
