LTN → IEV
Which side of the plane to sit from London Luton Airport (London) to Kiev Zhuliany International Airport (Kiev)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior as it offers a more dramatic departure over the London area and a stunning approach into Zhuliany, which is much closer to Kyiv's city center than Boryspil.
Greater London
Panoramic views of the Thames Estuary and the London skyline immediately after departure.
The Ruhr Valley
The dense industrial landscape and urban clusters of Western Germany.
Central German Uplands
Rolling hills and dense forests of the Harz and Thuringian regions.
Krakow
The historic towers and Vistula bend of Southern Poland's cultural capital.
Kyiv City Center
Dramatic low-altitude views of the golden-domed cathedrals and Dnieper River on final approach to IEV.
Choose the right side for the best chance of seeing the Kyiv city skyline during landing at Zhuliany. For late afternoon flights, be prepared for some sun glare while traveling eastbound.
East Anglian Coast
Clear views of the curved coastline of Eastern England before crossing the North Sea.
Dutch Archipelago
Intricate patterns of the Frisian Islands and the reclaimed polders of the Netherlands.
Berlin Outskirts
Depending on the airway, the sprawling northern suburbs and lakes of the German capital.
Vistula River
The winding path of Poland's longest river as it cuts through the northern plains.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side offers better views of the North Sea offshore wind farms and the flatter, water-rich landscapes of Northern Europe.
