Which side of the plane to sit from Trieste–Friuli Venezia Giulia Airport (Ronchi De Legionari) to London Stansted Airport (London)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this route as it provides a front-row seat to the dramatic limestone peaks of the Dolomites and the high Swiss Alps, followed by a potential panoramic view of London during the approach to Stansted.

The Dolomites
Breathtaking views of the jagged, pale peaks of the Italian Alps shortly after departure.
Swiss Alpine Massifs
Glaciated summits and deep valleys of the central Swiss Alps visible during cruise.
Ardennes Forest
The dense, rolling greenery of the Belgian Ardennes unfolding below.
Brussels Skyline
Clear views of the Belgian capital’s urban sprawl and the iconic Atomium if the path is southerly.
English Channel
Crossing the busy shipping lanes with views toward the White Cliffs of Dover to the west.
London Cityscape
The Shard, Canary Wharf, and the winding Thames often appear during the descent into Stansted.
For the best experience, choose a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the mountains. On evening flights, the left side catches the sunset glow over the English Channel. During the final approach, keep your camera ready for the London skyline, which is most visible when the aircraft follows a southerly arrival pattern (LORNA or ABBOT arrivals).
