LTN → VAR
Which side of the plane to sit from London Luton Airport (London) to Varna Airport (Varna)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a superior vantage point for major European landmarks, including distant views of London, the winding Rhine river, and direct views of central Budapest and Bucharest before the final approach into Varna.
London Skyline
A panoramic view of the UK capital's sprawling urban landscape shortly after takeoff from Luton.
Rhine River Valley
Spot one of Europe's most historic waterways as it snakes through the German countryside.
Budapest & Danube
On clear days, the Hungarian capital and its iconic Parliament building are visible from cruising altitude.
Bucharest Cityscape
A detailed view of the Romanian capital, including the massive Palace of the Parliament.
Varna Bay
A stunning aerial perspective of the city, the port, and the Lake Varna bridge before touchdown.
This side is ideal for city spotters. Use a flight tracker to time your look for Budapest approximately 2 hours after departure. For evening flights, the right side captures the sunset over the Balkan Peninsula, providing excellent photographic opportunities.
Thames Estuary
Observe the widening mouth of the Thames as the aircraft leaves English airspace.
Low Countries Coastline
Striking views of the Belgian and Dutch coastlines with their complex dikes and ports.
Eastern Carpathians
Rugged, forested mountain terrain as the flight path crosses into Eastern Europe.
Varna North Coast
Views of the Golden Sands resort area and the northern Bulgarian coastline on descent.
Choose this side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. During the final 15 minutes, look for the deep blue of the Black Sea. This side is particularly scenic during the winter months when the Carpathian peaks are snow-capped.
