Which side of the plane to sit from London Luton Airport (London) to Burgas Airport (Bourgas)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers the most dramatic scenery, featuring the spectacular peaks of the Austrian Alps and a clear view of the Balkan mountain range during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🗼

London & Thames

Panoramic views of the Thames Estuary and the South East English countryside shortly after departure.

🏔️

The Austrian Alps

The flight path typically passes north of the main range, providing jagged, snow-capped horizon views.

💧

Lake Constance

A massive glittering lake where Germany, Austria, and Switzerland meet, visible during the mid-flight cruise.

⛰️

Balkan Mountains

The rugged ridges of the Stara Planina range are prominent as the plane descends towards the Burgas valley.

Select a seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Alps. This side is best for late afternoon flights when the sun illuminates the mountain peaks from the south.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

English Channel

Clear views of the busy shipping lanes and the coastline of Northern France and Belgium.

🏙️

German Cities

Bird's-eye views of the urban layouts of Frankfurt and Nuremberg depending on the specific corridor.

🌾

Danube Basin

The sprawling agricultural landscapes of the Wallachian Plain across Southern Romania.

🏖️

Black Sea Coast

Excellent views of the Varna coastline and the Sunny Beach resort area during the final approach.

Ideal for morning flights to avoid direct solar glare. This side is particularly rewarding in the final 15 minutes of the flight for spotting the Bulgarian seaside resorts and the Black Sea horizon.
