LTN → KEF
Which side of the plane to sit from London Luton Airport (London) to Keflavik International Airport (Keflavik)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the British mainland's national parks and the spectacular volcanic coastline of Iceland upon arrival.
Lake District
Stunning views of the Cumbrian mountains and the deep glacial lakes of Northern England.
The Grampian Mountains
Clear views of the highest peaks in the UK, including the rugged terrain of the Scottish Highlands.
Vatnajökull View
On clear days, the massive white expanse of Europe's largest glacier is visible in the distance as you approach Iceland.
Reykjanes Peninsula
Dramatic views of the fresh lava fields, steam from geothermal plants, and the rugged coastline near KEF.
Sit on the right for the best chance to see the Icelandic coast. During the winter, this side is also excellent for spotting the Northern Lights on night flights. Try to book a seat in front of the wing to get clear shots of the volcanic landscapes during the descent.
London Suburbs
Aerial views of the northern Greater London area and the Home Counties shortly after takeoff from Luton.
Outer Hebrides
The rugged western islands of Scotland, including Lewis and Harris, are visible as the flight heads into the Atlantic.
Atlantic Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the North Atlantic, perfect for viewing the sunset on late afternoon or evening departures.
Choose this side if you are flying in the late afternoon to enjoy a prolonged sunset over the ocean. It is generally quieter for photography as you avoid the direct glare of the sun when flying North-West during the day.
