Which side of the plane to sit from London Luton Airport (London) to Debrecen International Airport (Debrecen)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panorama of the London skyline upon departure, potential views of the distant Bavarian Alps, and a likely sighting of Budapest's majestic layout before landing.
London Skyline
A stunning view of the Shard, the City, and the Canary Wharf district during the climb out.
Rhine Valley
The winding Rhine River and its famous vineyard-covered slopes in western Germany.
Bavarian Alps
On clear days, the southern horizon is dominated by the distant, massive peaks of the Alps.
Budapest Panorama
The Hungarian capital's Parliament building and Danube bridges are frequently visible to the south.
Great Hungarian Plain
The vast, flat agricultural 'AlfΓΆld' landscape that characterizes the final approach into Debrecen.
The right side is highly recommended for morning flights to capture the best lighting on Central European landmarks. Be particularly alert approximately 20 minutes before landing at Debrecen, as the flight path often passes near Budapest, offering a spectacular view of the city and the Danube. Seasonal tip: winter flights offer the best clarity for seeing the distant Alps to the south.
Thames Estuary
Watch the Thames widen as it flows into the North Sea shortly after departing Luton.
Dutch Coastline
Clear views of the intricate Zeeland deltas and polders if the flight path tracks north.
Ore Mountains
The rolling, forested ridges along the border between Germany and the Czech Republic.
High Tatras
Jagged, snow-capped peaks visible to the north while cruising over Slovakia.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. It is the better choice for observing the North German Plain and the High Tatra mountains in the distance during the latter half of the journey. Keep your camera ready about 40 minutes before landing for the Slovakian mountain ranges.
