Which side of the plane to sit from London Luton Airport (London) to Zürich Airport (Zurich)?

London Skyline
On clear days, a banked turn south after departure reveals the Shard, Thames, and the City.
Black Forest
Dense, dark evergreen canopies of southwestern Germany visible as the plane nears Switzerland.
Rhine Falls
Look closely near the border to spot Europe's largest waterfall near Schaffhausen during descent.
Swiss Alps
An incredible distant panorama of the snow-capped high Alps visible to the south during the approach.
The right side is generally better for scenic landmarks. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the Alps and the Rhine. Keep an eye out for Lake Constance (Bodensee) to the far right on arrival.
