Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the iconic London skyline shortly after takeoff and the world-famous White Cliffs of Dover during the Channel crossing.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
πŸ™οΈ

London Skyline

Breathtaking views of The Shard, Canary Wharf, and the River Thames as the flight turns south over Kent.

βšͺ

White Cliffs of Dover

The most iconic landmark of the English coast, clearly visible before the aircraft crosses the Strait of Dover.

🚒

Strait of Dover

The world's busiest shipping lane, filled with cargo ships and tankers navigating the narrow gap between UK and France.

πŸ—Ό

Paris Approach

On clear days, the skyscrapers of La DΓ©fense and the Eiffel Tower may be visible in the distance during the final turn.

This is the 'money side' for photography. Aim for a seat behind the wing to capture the London skyline with the aircraft's winglet. Morning flights offer the best lighting for the Dover cliffs.

Left Side Highlights
7.1
🌳

Chiltern Hills

Lush greenery and rolling chalk hills of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty immediately after departure.

🌊

English Channel

The vast blue expanse of the western Channel, often dotted with ferries traveling between Dieppe and Newhaven.

πŸ–οΈ

Normandy Coast

Dramatic limestone cliffs and the scenic beaches of the Alabaster Coast near Dieppe.

πŸ„

Picardy Farmland

Classic French patchwork fields and rural villages as the aircraft begins its descent into the Paris region.

Sit on this side during sunset flights to catch the orange glow reflecting off the Normandy cliffs. It provides a more peaceful, nature-focused view compared to the urban right side.
