Luxembourg City
Stunning views of the Alzette River gorges, historic fortifications, and the Adolphe Bridge shortly after takeoff.
Calais and Dunkirk
Clear views of the major industrial ports and ferries docking on the French coastline.
Channel Shipping Lanes
A top-down view of one of the world's busiest shipping corridors.
London Skyline
On clear days, the distant skyscrapers of the City, Canary Wharf, and The Shard are visible to the north during descent.
Kentish Estates
Aerial perspectives of historic manor houses and orchards in the Garden of England.
The right side is ideal for the departure out of LUX to see the 'Gibraltar of the North'. For the approach to LGW, keep your eyes on the northern horizon for a silhouette of London. Morning flights are best on this side to have the sun behind you, illuminating the French coast and the English countryside clearly.

Ardennes Forest
Dense green canopies and rolling hills of the Belgian and French border region.

The English Channel
Panoramic views of the busy maritime traffic crossing between the continent and the UK.
White Cliffs of Dover
Distant views of the iconic white chalk cliffs as the plane enters British airspace.

Quaint English villages and patchwork fields typical of the High Weald area.
Sit on the left if you prefer looking south toward the wider expanse of the English Channel. During a westerly landing (Runway 26), you will see the rolling greenery of the South Downs. Late afternoon flights provide a warmer glow over the French landscape but may cause glare when looking south.
