Which side of the plane to sit from Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport (Tallinn-ulemiste International) to London Gatwick Airport (London)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a more dynamic sequence of views, starting with the Gulf of Finland, potentially spotting the Danish and Swedish coasts, and concluding with a panoramic approach into the London area that often showcases the Thames and the city skyline.
Search flights from TLL to LGW
Gulf of Finland
Expansive views of the shimmering blue waters and distant islands of the northern Baltic.
Oresund Bridge
The massive bridge-tunnel system connecting Malmo and Copenhagen is often visible to the north.
Dutch Offshore Wind Farms
Impressive geometric patterns of massive wind turbines located in the North Sea.
London Skyline
A spectacular view of the Thames Estuary and the central London skyscrapers during the Gatwick approach.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the North Sea. Keep your camera ready during the final 20 minutes of the flight; Gatwick arrivals from the east often pass close enough to the city for a clear view of the Shard and the London Eye.

Tallinn Old Town

Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you, providing the best lighting for photography of the Estonian and Latvian coastlines. During descent, look for the green rolling hills of the High Weald AONB as you approach Gatwick.
