Which side of the plane to sit from Linz Hörsching Airport (Linz) to London Stansted Airport (London)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the Northern Alps shortly after takeoff and the most consistent views of the London skyline and Thames Estuary during the approach to Stansted.
Northern Alps View
Breathtaking panoramas of the Salzkammergut and the Austrian Alps peaks shortly after departing Linz.
Lake Constance
Distant views of the vast Bodensee where Austria, Germany, and Switzerland meet.
The Ardennes
The dense, rolling green hills of Southern Belgium, a historic and scenic forested region.
English Channel
Clear views of the busy shipping lanes and the approach to the southeastern British coastline.
London Skyline
If the flight patterns loop south, you can see the Shard, Canary Wharf, and the winding River Thames.
Book an 'A' window seat. Morning flights are ideal as the sun is positioned behind you, illuminating the Alps and the English landscape. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for potential city views.
Bohemian Forest
Rugged border terrain and ancient forests stretching between Austria and the Czech Republic.
Rhine Valley
Views of the winding Rhine River and the industrial heartland near Frankfurt and Mainz.
Brussels Metro Area
Extensive urban views of the Belgian capital and its distinctive suburban layouts.
North Sea Wind Farms
Massive offshore wind installations visible in the water as you cross toward the UK.
East Anglian Countryside
The picturesque patchwork of Essex and Hertfordshire farmland during the final descent.
Choose an 'F' window seat for better views of Central German geography. This side is better for late afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun, providing soft lighting over the European plains.
