REU → LTN
Which side of the plane to sit from Reus Air Base (Reus) to London Luton Airport (London)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides the most dramatic views, including the jagged Montserrat peaks after takeoff, the volcanic Massif Central in France, and the best chance to see the London skyline and Wembley Stadium during the arrival phase into Luton.
Montserrat
The iconic multi-peaked sawtooth mountain range near Barcelona, located just east of the departure path.
Massif Central
Unique views of the ancient volcanic terrain and rugged highlands of south-central France.
Greater Paris
The expansive urban sprawl of the French capital is often visible in the distance during the mid-flight segment.
White Cliffs
Glimpse the iconic white chalk coastline of southern England upon crossing the Channel.
London Skyline
A panoramic view of the City, The Shard, and Canary Wharf during the standard arrival procedure.
Wembley Stadium
The unmistakable illuminated arch of the national stadium is a frequent landmark on final approach.
The right side is the prime choice for city spotting. Sit here for the best views of London's landmarks during the typical LOREL arrival pattern. In winter, early morning flights provide stunning sunrise light over the French Alps in the far distance.
Costa Dorada
Vibrant turquoise waters and sandy beaches of the Catalan coast visible immediately after takeoff.
Western Pyrenees
Expansive views of the high peaks and deep valleys of the mountain range dividing Spain and France.
Loire Valley
The winding river and historic chateaux scattered throughout the lush green landscape of central France.
English Channel
Aerial view of the world's busiest shipping lane with numerous vessels visible from cruising altitude.
Chiltern Hills
The rolling green countryside of the Home Counties as the aircraft descends into the London area.
Opt for the left side on evening flights to enjoy the sunset over the Atlantic and the Bay of Biscay. Keep an eye out for the Normandy beaches if the flight path tracks toward the western edge of its corridor over France.
