LHR → LUX
Which side of the plane to sit from London Heathrow Airport (London) to Luxembourg-Findel International Airport (Luxemburg)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the iconic White Cliffs of Dover during the Channel crossing and provides a breathtaking perspective of Luxembourg City's deep river valleys and historic fortifications upon approach.
Windsor Castle
If taking off to the West, catch a glimpse of the world's oldest occupied castle before the turn.
White Cliffs of Dover
The most iconic landmark of the English coast, visible just before crossing the Channel.
Port of Calais
Watch the ferries crossing the narrowest part of the English Channel toward the French coast.
Luxembourg Gorges
Dramatic views of the Alzette River carving through the sandstone cliffs of the capital.
Adolphe Bridge
The famous stone arch bridge and the historic 'Grund' district as the plane descends into LUX.
For the most dramatic arrival, choose the right side to see the UNESCO-listed old town of Luxembourg. Note that for morning flights, the sun will be on this side, so have your window shade ready; afternoon flights offer perfect lighting for the cliffs and the city.
London City Skyline
Aerial views of Canary Wharf, the O2 Arena, and the winding River Thames during departure.
Thames Estuary
The expansive meeting point of the river and the North Sea, featuring offshore wind farms.
Belgian Coastline
Clear views of the sandy beaches near Ostend and the bustling port of Zeebrugge.
Ardennes North
The northern fringes of the Ardennes forest, characterized by rolling green hills.
Sit on the left for better views of the North Sea coastline and the Belgian polders. This side is typically shielded from direct southern sunlight during the short midday hop, reducing glare for photography.
