MAH β LTN
Which side of the plane to sit from Menorca Airport (Menorca) to London Luton Airport (London)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the French interior, including the dramatic volcanic peaks of the Massif Central and the scenic crossing of the English Channel toward the UK.
Menorca North Coast
Immediate views of the island's rugged northern cliffs and hidden coves shortly after takeoff.
Camargue Wetlands
The unique salt pans and marshes of the Rhone delta are visible as you cross the southern French coastline.
Massif Central
Spectacular views of the extinct volcanoes and deep gorges of the Auvergne region in central France.
Burgundy Vineyards
Fly over the neatly ordered rows of some of the world's most famous vineyards in eastern France.
English Channel
A clear view of the busy shipping lanes and the transition from the French coast to the English cliffs.
The right side avoids the direct glare of the afternoon sun. Watch for the Puy de DΓ΄me volcano roughly 50 minutes into the flight. If the flight path takes a more easterly route over the UK, you may also see the Thames Estuary during your final descent.
Balearic Sea
Final views of the turquoise Mediterranean waters as you depart Menorca and head north toward mainland Europe.
Pyrenees Horizon
On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the Pyrenees are visible in the far distance to the west.
Loire Valley
The winding Loire River and its surrounding historic chateaus can often be spotted through central France.
Paris Silhouette
Depending on the specific airway, the Eiffel Tower and the sprawl of Paris are frequently visible on the western horizon.
Greater London
During the descent into Luton, the left side often captures the expansive urban landscape of the UK capital.
For evening flights, sit on the left to witness the sun setting over the French countryside. This side is also preferred if the aircraft performs a standard arrival loop from the south, offering a broad view of the London skyline before landing.
