LJU → STN
Which side of the plane to sit from Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport (Ljubljana) to London Stansted Airport (London)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic Julian Alps immediately after takeoff and offers the highest probability of seeing the London skyline in the distance during the approach into Stansted.
Julian Alps & Triglav
Breathtaking views of Slovenia's highest peaks, including Mount Triglav, visible shortly after departure from LJU.
Hohe Tauern Range
Glaciated peaks of the Austrian Alps, including the Grossglockner, visible to the south of the flight path.
Rhine Valley
The winding Rhine River and its historic castle-dotted banks as the flight crosses Western Germany.
Brussels Metropolitan Area
A clear view of the Belgian capital and the iconic Atomium if the flight path tracks slightly south.
Thames Estuary
The dramatic meeting of the River Thames and the North Sea as you approach the UK coastline.
London Skyline
On a clear day, the Shard, Canary Wharf, and the City of London are often visible to the southwest during the descent.
Choose a seat well ahead of the wing to avoid engine glare when photographing the Alps. Early morning flights offer stunning 'Alpenglow' on the peaks. During the descent into STN, keep your eyes peeled for the London Eye and the Shard if the aircraft approaches from the south or east.
Lake Bled
If the aircraft departs to the north, you can catch a glimpse of the famous island church and castle.
Munich & Allianz Arena
The Bavarian capital and its glowing red football stadium are prominent landmarks on the right.
Port of Antwerp
One of Europe's largest industrial ports, visible with its massive docks and container terminals.
North Sea Wind Farms
Vast arrays of offshore wind turbines standing in the turquoise waters between Belgium and England.
Essex Countryside
The patchwork quilt of green fields, historic villages, and winding country lanes typical of East Anglia.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as it remains in the shade, reducing window glare. It offers better views of the German and Belgian flatlands. Look out for the Dutch coastline and the intricate Delta Works if the route takes a more northerly track over the Netherlands.
