WAW β LHR
Which side of the plane to sit from Warsaw Chopin Airport (Warsaw) to London Heathrow Airport (London)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior due to the possibility of seeing the Berlin skyline mid-flight and the iconic aerial panorama of Central London, including the City and Canary Wharf, during the final approach to Heathrow.

Request a seat on the right to maximize your chances of the 'London Tour' approach. Most flights land facing west; if so, the right side looks north over the most famous landmarks. In winter, aim for an early afternoon flight to ensure you have enough daylight for the arrival views.
