Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side of the aircraft offers a more scenic perspective, providing distant views of the Alps to the south and a significantly higher probability of seeing the London skyline during the approach into Luton, especially if the flight follows standard arrival patterns from the east.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
⛰️

Southern Carpathians

Shortly after takeoff, view the rugged peaks of the Transylvanian Alps as you head west toward Hungary.

💧

Danube Bend

Glimpse the iconic curve of the Danube River as the flight passes north of Budapest and enters Central Europe.

🏔️

Distant Alpine Peaks

On clear days, the snow-capped Northern Limestone Alps of Austria are visible far on the southern horizon.

🏰

Rhine Valley

Witness the dense urban clusters and industrial heartland of Germany, following the path of the Rhine River.

🏙️

Greater London Skyline

During the descent into Luton, look south to see the City of London, the Shard, and the Canary Wharf skyscrapers.

Book a window seat on the left for better lighting on westbound morning flights. This side is superior for spotting the London skyline if the aircraft enters a holding pattern or follows the typical 'LOREN' arrival route. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🌲

Transylvanian Plateau

Aerial views of the rolling hills, fortified churches, and traditional Saxon villages of central Romania.

🏙️

Prague and Dresden

Depending on the specific airway, look north to spot the urban sprawls of these historic Central European cities.

⛪

Cologne Cathedral

As you cross western Germany, you may spot the massive twin spires of the Kölner Dom if the path is slightly north.

🌊

North Sea Coastline

The transition from the Dutch or Belgian coast into the grey-blue waters of the North Sea/English Channel.

🌳

Bedfordshire Countryside

Lush green fields and the Chiltern Hills are clearly visible as the plane makes its final approach into Luton.

The right side is ideal for avoiding direct sunlight during midday flights, preventing glare on your window. It offers the best views of the North Sea coastline and the rural English landscape of East Anglia and the Midlands just before touchdown.
