VCE β LTN
Which side of the plane to sit from Venice Marco Polo Airport (Venice) to London Luton Airport (London)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the high Alpine peaks and a much higher probability of seeing the Central London skyline during the approach into Luton.
Venice Lagoon
Aerial perspective of the Venetian islands and the complex network of canals during the initial ascent.
The High Alps
Spectacular views of the Swiss and French Alps, often including peaks near the Mont Blanc massif.
Greater Paris
On clear days, the urban sprawl of Paris and sometimes the distant silhouette of the Eiffel Tower are visible.
London Skyline
If the flight follows a southerly arrival route, you will see the Shard, the City, and the Thames.
Windsor Castle
Often visible during the final descent maneuvers as the plane turns toward Luton from the south.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see London. For morning flights, this side will be in the shade, providing better lighting for photography of the Alps without window glare. Check for 'clear' weather over the Alps to ensure the best mountain views.
Venice Historic Center
The best view of St. Mark's Square and the Doge's Palace if departing towards the northeast.
The Dolomites
The jagged, limestone peaks of the Italian Dolomites are visible shortly after takeoff to the north.
Lake Geneva
The distinctive crescent shape of Lac LΓ©man on the border of France and Switzerland.
White Cliffs of Dover
Iconic chalk cliffs visible as the aircraft crosses the English Channel into British airspace.
East Anglian Countryside
The patchwork of green and yellow fields across Essex and Hertfordshire during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for catching the immediate departure view of Venice's main island. It is also the side to be on if you want to see the English coast and the White Cliffs of Dover clearly as you enter the UK. Afternoon flights on this side may experience significant sun glare.
