Which side of the plane to sit from London Luton Airport (London) to Belfast International Airport (Belfast)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a superior perspective of the English coastline, the distinctive grid layout of Milton Keynes, and the industrial heritage of Belfast Lough upon arrival.
Milton Keynes
The unique grid-like city layout is clearly visible shortly after takeoff as the plane climbs northwest.
The Peak District
Distant views of the dark peak moorlands and rugged edges of northern Derbyshire.
Blackpool Coastline
Look for the iconic Blackpool Tower and the Pleasure Beach as you leave the Lancashire coast.
Isle of Man
Excellent views of Snaefell and the island's coastline as the flight path passes to its north.
Belfast Lough
On the approach to Runway 25, enjoy views of the Titanic Quarter and the historic Harland and Wolff cranes.
Morning flights offer the best lighting for the right side. If the aircraft lands on Runway 25, you will get a great view of the Belfast docks. Use a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze obscuring the Isle of Man.
Chiltern Hills
Rolling green landscapes of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty immediately after departure from Luton.
Birmingham Outskirts
Views of the sprawling West Midlands urban area and the Spaghetti Junction motorway complex.
Snowdonia Peaks
On clear days, the rugged mountains of North Wales are visible in the distance across the horizon.
Irish Sea Crossing
The transition from the English coast to the open waters of the Irish Sea toward the Isle of Man.
Lough Neagh
The UK's largest freshwater lake dominates the view during the final descent into Belfast International.
Sit here for better sunset views on evening flights. As you approach BFS, watch for the massive expanse of Lough Neagh; it is particularly striking when the sun reflects off the water's surface.
