LHR → YHZ
Which side of the plane to sit from London Heathrow Airport (London) to Halifax / Stanfield International Airport (Halifax)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior view of the rugged Newfoundland coastline and potential sightings of icebergs or the southern tip of Greenland depending on the Great Circle track, all while avoiding the harsh southern sun glare.

Welsh Mountains
Views of the rolling hills and peaks of Wales shortly after leaving the English airspace.
Donegal Headlands
The wild, jagged coastline of North-Western Ireland, marking the final European landmass.
Iceberg Alley
During spring and early summer, watch for white specks in the Labrador Current off the coast of Newfoundland.
Newfoundland Coast
Rugged, rocky inlets and the remote wilderness of the Avalon Peninsula as you re-enter North American airspace.
Bras d'Or Lake
The stunning inland sea of Cape Breton Island, characterized by its complex shoreline and deep blue waters.
The right side is ideal for northern views without direct sun interference. If the flight takes a more northerly Great Circle route, you might catch a distant glimpse of Greenland's ice-capped southern tip. For the best experience, fly during the day between April and June to spot icebergs drifting south near Newfoundland.

Windsor Castle
Visible shortly after takeoff from LHR if departing to the west, offering a glimpse of the royal residence.
Southern Irish Coast
Aerial views of the green fields and dramatic cliffs of County Cork and County Kerry before the ocean crossing.
Mid-Atlantic Expanse
A vast, mesmerizing view of the deep blue Atlantic, often showing whitecaps and cloud formations.
Nova Scotia Wilderness
Densely forested landscapes and thousands of small lakes as the plane descends into the Halifax area.
The left side faces south, meaning you will deal with direct sunlight and potential glare for the majority of the westward journey. Use this side if you prefer a view of the southern Nova Scotian coastline upon arrival, but keep the window shade partially closed during the mid-flight crossing to stay cool.
