Which side of the plane to sit from Vilnius International Airport (Vilnius) to London Luton Airport (London)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior urban views including a potential glimpse of the Vilnius city center upon takeoff and the sprawl of Berlin and London during the cruise and approach phases.
Vilnius Old Town
Upon departure, enjoy views of the UNESCO-listed historic center and the Neris River winding through the city.
Berlin Metropolitan Area
The flight path typically passes just north of Berlin, providing a clear view of the German capital's urban layout.
Rotterdam Port
As you approach the North Sea, you can often see the massive industrial infrastructure of Europe's largest port.
Central London Skyline
Depending on the LTN approach pattern, the Shard and Canary Wharf may be visible in the distance to the south.
Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the ground isn't blocked. If flying in the afternoon, the sun will be on the left (south), so prepare for some glare; morning flights offer perfectly front-lit landscapes on this side.
Trakai Island Castle
Located just west of Vilnius, this red-brick Gothic castle surrounded by lakes is often visible minutes after takeoff.
Wadden Sea & Frisian Islands
Views of the unique tidal flats and the string of islands along the Dutch and German coastlines.
Cambridge University
During the descent into Luton, look for the historic colleges and the distinctive King's College Chapel.
English Countryside
The quintessential patchwork fields of East Anglia provide a scenic backdrop during the final 20 minutes of flight.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. It provides the best views of the Frisian Islands and the North Sea coastline. During the descent, keep an eye out for the distinct circular structure of the M25 motorway.
