Which side of the plane to sit from London Luton Airport (London) to San Javier Airport (Murcia)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the English Channel coastline, the dramatic central peaks of the Pyrenees, and the iconic approach over the Mar Menor lagoon into San Javier.
London Skyline
Aerial views of Greater London and the Thames Estuary shortly after departure from Luton.
Normandy Coast
Dramatic white chalk cliffs and the historic beaches of Northern France.
Central Pyrenees
Stunning snow-capped peaks and high-altitude valleys while crossing the border into Spain.
Aragon Steppes
The unique, arid, and colorful landscapes of the Ebro basin in northeastern Spain.
Mar Menor Lagoon
A breathtaking view of Europe's largest saltwater lagoon and the thin strip of La Manga.
Mediterranean Sea
Deep blue vistas of the Mediterranean as the aircraft turns for its final landing sequence.
Book a seat on the left (A) for the most iconic approach. In the morning, the sun will be behind you, providing perfectly lit landscapes. The descent into San Javier often involves a turn over the sea, giving the left side a direct view of the coastal resorts and the lagoon's unique geography.
Isle of Wight
Frequent views of the Solent and the needles on the southern English coast.
Bay of Biscay
The vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean meeting the rugged western coast of France.
Western Pyrenees
Lush green mountains and the Basque countryside as the plane enters Spanish airspace.
Spanish Meseta
The high central plateau of Spain, characterized by red earth and ancient villages.
Sierra de EspuΓ±a
The dense forests and limestone peaks of the Murcian mountain ranges during the descent.
The right side (F) is ideal for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Atlantic and the Spanish interior. It also offers great views of the Isle of Wight shortly after takeoff if the flight path tracks southward over the English coast.
