Which side of the plane to sit from Sevilla Airport (Sevilla) to London Stansted Airport (London)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior viewing experience, featuring the rugged Cantabrian Mountains, the picturesque French coastline of Brittany, the iconic White Cliffs of Dover, and a high probability of seeing the London skyline during the descent into Stansted.

The Meseta
The high central plateau of Spain, showing off golden plains and ancient towns.
Cantabrian Mountains
Dramatic snow-capped peaks of northern Spain before crossing the sea.
Mont Saint-Michel
The famous tidal island monastery visible as you cross the French coast near Brittany.
White Cliffs of Dover
Classic views of the English Channel's chalk cliffs if the flight path tracks east.
London Skyline
During the hold or final approach to STN, you can often see the Shard and the City to the south.
The right side is prime for landmark spotting. Keep your camera ready about 90 minutes into the flight for the French coastline. On the descent into Stansted, if the plane performs a 'holding' loop to the south, you will get the best possible view of central London's skyscrapers in the distance.

Guadalquivir River
Aerial views of the winding river through Sevilla shortly after takeoff.
Monfragüe National Park
The wild, rocky landscapes of northern Extremadura known for bird conservation.
Bay of Biscay
A vast expanse of deep blue Atlantic water as you leave the Spanish coast.
The Solent
Views of the busy shipping lanes and the Isle of Wight as you enter UK airspace.
South Downs
The rolling green hills and chalk grasslands of southern England.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side offers better views of the initial climb out of Sevilla and the approach over the leafy suburbs of southern England, though it misses the major London landmarks during the typical Stansted approach pattern.
