Our Recommendation
8.8

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.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏰

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.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

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.
