LTN β GVA
Which side of the plane to sit from London Luton Airport (London) to Geneva Cointrin International Airport (Geneva)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers an unparalleled panoramic view of the High Alps and the majestic Mont Blanc massif during the descent into Geneva.
Parisian Horizon
On clear days, the distant skyline of Paris and the Eiffel Tower may be visible to the far west.
Burgundy Vineyards
The structured patterns of the famous French wine regions stretching across the landscape.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in Western Europe dominates the horizon with its snow-capped summit.
Alpine Panorama
A vast expanse of jagged peaks and glaciers stretching toward the Italian border during descent.
Lac LΓ©man
The deep blue waters of the crescent-shaped lake reflecting the surrounding mountain ranges.
The right side is the definitive choice for Alpine scenery. Aim for a seat behind the wing to ensure your view of Mont Blanc isn't obstructed. Afternoon flights are particularly scenic as the sun illuminates the western faces of the Alps, creating dramatic shadows and highlights on the glaciers.
Greater London
Aerial views of the sprawling London metropolis and the Thames Estuary shortly after takeoff.
English Channel
The narrow crossing between the UK and France, often revealing busy maritime shipping lanes.
The Jura Mountains
Dense forests and limestone ridges of the Jura range visible during the final approach phase.
Lake Geneva
Views of the northern shores and the Lausanne coastline as the plane aligns with the runway.
Choose the left side for better views of the Jura mountains and the northern Swiss plateau. On a Runway 22 arrival, this side provides a glimpse of the Jet d'Eau and the city center just before touchdown. Morning flights offer the best lighting for these features without glare.
