Oslofjord
Breathtaking views of the islands and forested hills surrounding Oslo upon departure.
North Sea
Vast turquoise waters often dotted with shipping vessels and offshore wind farms.
East Anglian Coast
Entering UK airspace over the sandy beaches and salt marshes of Norfolk and Suffolk.
Thames Estuary
The widening river with major ports and the Dartford Crossing visible.
London Skyline
Iconic views of The Shard, Canary Wharf, and the Tower of London on approach.
Sit on the left for the best chance of seeing the London skyline during the typical westward approach into LHR. Morning flights offer great lighting as the sun is in the southeast. Avoid window seats over the wing (typically rows 10-22) for the best views.
