LTN → LCA
Which side of the plane to sit from London Luton Airport (London) to Larnaca International Airport (Larnaca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for this route, offering the most dramatic views of the Western Alps and a better vantage point for the iconic Greek islands and the scenic approach into Larnaca.
Western Alps
Breathtaking views of the highest European peaks, often including Mont Blanc or the Matterhorn depending on the specific airway.
Adriatic Coast
The rugged and beautiful coastline of Italy or Croatia, featuring crystal-clear turquoise waters.
The Peloponnese
Dramatic mountainous terrain and the indented coastline of southern Greece.
Cyclades Islands
Direct views over famous islands like Milos, Santorini, or Crete as the plane transits the Mediterranean.
Larnaca Salt Lake
A stunning view of the salt lake and the Hala Sultan Tekke mosque just seconds before touchdown.
Book the right side for sunset flights to witness the 'Golden Hour' over the Greek islands. As you approach Larnaca, keep your camera ready for the salt lake, which can appear bright white or pink depending on the season.
London & Home Counties
Aerial views of the Greater London area and the Thames Estuary shortly after departure from Luton.
Eastern Alps
Glacial peaks and high-altitude valleys of the Swiss and Austrian Alps visible during the mid-flight cruise.
The Aegean Sea
Deep blue vistas of the northern Aegean with scattered views of the Sporades and Dodecanese islands.
Kyrenia Mountains
The jagged Pentadaktylos range of Northern Cyprus becomes visible during the final descent into Larnaca.
The left side is ideal for morning departures as it remains in the shade, reducing glare for photography. On arrival into LCA, if the flight approaches from the north, you'll get an excellent view of the island's northern coastline.
