LJU → LTN
Which side of the plane to sit from Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport (Ljubljana) to London Luton Airport (London)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more dramatic perspective of the Julian Alps immediately after takeoff and generally better lighting conditions for photography on afternoon flights. It also provides a superior view of the South Coast of England and potentially the London skyline during the final descent pattern into Luton.

Julian Alps & Mount Triglav
Spectacular close-up views of Slovenia's highest peaks immediately following departure from LJU.
Lake Constance (Bodensee)
A massive lake bordered by Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, visible as you cross into Central Europe.
Black Forest
The dense, dark evergreen canopy of southwestern Germany stretching across the horizon.
English Channel
The transition from the French coast to the English coastline, often featuring views of the Isle of Wight.
London Cityscape
Depending on the approach path, you may see the Shard and the City of London as the plane turns toward Luton.
Book a window seat on the left for a direct view of Mount Triglav within the first 10 minutes of flight. On afternoon flights, the sun will be behind or above you, reducing glare on the window. During the descent, look out for the distinctive sprawl of the M25 motorway and the green belt of the South Downs.

Karawanks Mountain Range
The jagged limestone peaks that form the natural border between Slovenia and Austria.
Munich & Bavaria
Views of the Bavarian plains and the outskirts of Munich as the flight heads northwest.
The Rhine River
The winding industrial artery of Europe as it cuts through western Germany toward the Netherlands.
Brussels Urban Area
A clear view of the dense urban layout of the Belgian capital and its surrounding provinces.
Thames Estuary
The widening mouth of the River Thames as the aircraft crosses into British airspace near Essex.
The right side is excellent for seeing the major European river systems and the urban centers of the Benelux region. In winter, the snow-covered Austrian Alps to the north look particularly impressive from this side. Watch for the distinctive shape of the O2 Arena and Canary Wharf if the flight path takes a northern loop around London.
