MJV β LTN
Which side of the plane to sit from San Javier Airport (Murcia) to London Luton Airport (London)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an exceptional departure over the Mar Menor lagoon and a higher probability of spotting the London skyline during the final approach into Luton.
Mar Menor
Stunning immediate views of Europe's largest saltwater lagoon and the thin La Manga strip.
Costa Blanca
The white sandy beaches and turquoise waters of the Alicante and Benidorm coastline.
Loire Valley
The 'Garden of France' with its winding rivers and numerous historic chateaux visible from altitude.
Paris (Distant)
On clear days, the urban sprawl of Paris and the distant silhouette of the Eiffel Tower can be seen to the east.
White Cliffs of Dover
The iconic chalk cliffs of the English coast as the flight enters UK airspace over Kent.
London Skyline
Panoramic views of Central London, including the Shard and Canary Wharf, during the stack or descent into Luton.
The right side is essential for the best takeoff views of the Murcia coastline. For the arrival into Luton, the right side is most likely to catch a glimpse of the London skyline, especially if the aircraft follows the common 'Loreto' arrival route. Aim for a morning flight for the best light on the Spanish coast.
Sierra EspuΓ±a
The rugged, forested limestone peaks of the Murcia region visible shortly after departure.
The Pyrenees
Dramatic views of the snow-capped mountain range that forms the natural border between Spain and France.
Bay of Biscay
The expansive blue waters and the jagged coastline of Western France as the plane heads north.
Normandy Coast
The historic coastline of Northern France, featuring the mouth of the Seine and D-Day landing beaches.
The Solent
The busy shipping lane between the Isle of Wight and mainland England during the descent.
Choose the left side for the best mountain views of the Pyrenees. This side is also superior for sunset views if flying in the evening, as the sun will set over the Atlantic to the west. Keep your eyes peeled for the distinct shape of the Isle of Wight as you cross the English Channel.
