LHR → TLS
Which side of the plane to sit from London Heathrow Airport (London) to Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (Toulouse)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of iconic British landmarks upon departure and a dramatic panorama of the Pyrenees mountains during the descent into Toulouse.
Windsor Castle
Immediately after takeoff from LHR, the world's largest occupied castle is often visible in stunning detail.
Normandy Coastline
Cross the English Channel to see the dramatic cliffs and historic beaches near Le Havre.
Aquitaine Vineyards
As you head south, the geometric patterns of the famous Bordeaux and Southwest wine regions unfold.
Pyrenees Mountains
On clear days, the entire snow-capped border between France and Spain dominates the southern horizon.
Airbus Final Assembly
Just before landing at TLS, see the massive production hangars where the A350 and A320 aircraft are built.
The right side is unbeatable for the approach into TLS. For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Pyrenees, which are most visible in the final 20 minutes of flight.
Central London
On easterly takeoffs, witness a sprawling view of the City, the Shard, and Canary Wharf.
Isle of Wight
The distinctive diamond shape of the island and the Needles' white cliffs are visible off the southern coast.
Loire Valley
Aerial views of the 'Garden of France' featuring winding rivers and historic French estates.
Massif Central
In the distance, the rugged volcanic plateaus and ancient peaks of central France appear.
Toulouse 'Pink City'
Look down at the characteristic terracotta rooftops of the old city center during the final approach.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is particularly rewarding if the flight path takes a more easterly route over Paris, offering distant views of the Eiffel Tower.
