TLS → LHR
Which side of the plane to sit from Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (Toulouse) to London Heathrow Airport (London)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer scenic views of the French countryside, the right side provides a superior perspective of the Massif Central during cruise and the iconic London skyline during the final approach into Heathrow.

Toulouse Cityscape
Excellent view of the 'Pink City' and the Garonne River immediately after takeoff from Runway 32.
Massif Central
Looking east toward the volcanic peaks of the Auvergne region during the mid-flight cruise phase.
Central London
The definitive view of the Thames, The Shard, and the London Eye during the standard easterly approach.
Wembley Stadium
The iconic stadium arch is often visible if the aircraft enters the northern holding patterns near Northolt.
The right side is essential for the 'London Tour' approach. Most flights into LHR arrive from the east; sitting on the right ensures you see the city's landmarks. For the best lighting on these landmarks, choose a late afternoon or evening flight when the sun illuminates the buildings from the west.

Pyrenees Range
Distant views of the snow-capped peaks looking back south during the initial climb out of Toulouse.
Loire Valley
Sightings of the winding Loire river and various historic estates as the flight traverses western France.
Normandy Coastline
Views of the rugged northern French coast and the busy shipping lanes of the English Channel.
Windsor Castle
A close-up view of the historic royal residence during the final seconds of landing when approaching from the west.
Sit on the left if you prefer views of the French coastline and want a chance to spot Windsor Castle on landing. This side also avoids the direct morning sun, making it better for photography on early flights.
