Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides an unparalleled view of the London Docklands and the Thames during the steep approach into London City Airport.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏝️

Menorca

Spot the smaller Balearic island of Menorca to the east during the initial climb.

🌋

Massif Central

Fly over the extinct volcanoes and rugged plateaus of south-central France.

🗼

Paris Basin

On clear days, the sprawling urban layout of Paris is visible in the distance to the northeast.

🏙️

London Docklands

An iconic, close-up view of the O2 Arena, Canary Wharf, and the Thames Barrier.

The right side is highly recommended for the arrival into LCY. The steep 5.5-degree approach offers a unique perspective of the O2 and Canary Wharf. In winter, book a morning flight to avoid the early sunset over the UK.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
⛰️

Serra de Tramuntana

View the dramatic limestone peaks of Mallorca immediately after departure.

🌊

Gulf of Lion

Cross the Mediterranean coastline near Montpellier with views of the French Riviera to the east.

🏰

Loire Valley

Identify the winding rivers and historical estates of central France from high altitude.

🌳

Kent Downs

The lush green landscapes of Southeast England as you begin the final descent.

Choose the left side for mountain views upon leaving Palma. During descent, if landing toward the east, you will have a better view of the South London suburbs and the North Downs.
