ZAG → LHR
Which side of the plane to sit from Zagreb Airport (Zagreb) to London Heathrow Airport (London)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides an exceptional perspective of the Julian Alps shortly after departure and offers the most iconic views of the Central London skyline during the standard approach into Heathrow.
Julian Alps
Dramatic views of the jagged peaks and glacial valleys of the Slovenian and Italian Alpine ranges.
Luxembourg City
A clear view of the historic 'Gibraltar of the North' with its deep river gorges and ancient fortifications.
White Cliffs of Dover
The striking white chalk coastline of England as the aircraft crosses the Channel from mainland Europe.
Central London
Unbeatable views of The Shard, Tower Bridge, the London Eye, and Big Ben if landing on runways 27L or 27R.
London Eye
A bird's-eye view of the South Bank and the Thames as the flight maneuvers for its final descent.
Book a seat on the left and ahead of the wing to capture the London skyline. For morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing perfect lighting for photos of the Alps. The 'London view' usually happens 10 minutes before touchdown.
Karawanks Mountains
Rugged limestone peaks forming the natural border between Slovenia and Austria right after takeoff.
Munich and Bavaria
Views of the sprawling Bavarian capital and the Allianz Arena north of the flight path.
The Ardennes
The dense, rolling green hills of the Belgian forest region stretching toward the horizon.
Zeebrugge Port
One of Europe's largest shipping hubs visible as the aircraft approaches the North Sea coastline.
Wembley Stadium
The iconic arch of England's national stadium is often visible during North London holding patterns.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. During rare easterly landings (Runway 09), this side offers views of Windsor Castle and the Berkshire countryside just before touchdown.
