Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Aarhus to London. The takeoff views of the Kattegat and Danish coastline are more visually distinctive and dramatic than the landing approach. While the landing offers pleasant English countryside, the water and coastal scenery at departure provides stronger visual interest.

During takeoff from Aarhus (AAR), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of the Kattegat strait and the Danish coastline as you climb out. The aircraft departs eastbound initially before turning southwest, so right windows capture the water and coastal settlements immediately after takeoff. Notable sights include: Kattegat strait, Danish coastline near Aarhus, Jutland peninsula, Anholt Island.

When landing at Gatwick (LGW), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views during the descent into Gatwick. As you approach from the northeast, the left side faces the Surrey Hills and the patchwork of southern England's countryside, including the distinctive green belt around London's southern edge. Notable sights include: Surrey Hills, Thames valley, London's southern suburbs, Weald of Kent.

The flight from Aarhus (AAR) to Gatwick (LGW) takes 1h 25m.

North Sea crossing dominates the middle portion of the flight. You'll pass over open water for approximately 45 minutes. The southern North Sea shows shipping lanes and occasional oil/gas platforms visible as small specks. As you approach the English coast near Norfolk or Suffolk, you'll see the East Anglian coastline with its distinctive flat terrain, river estuaries, and coastal towns. The Wash estuary is particularly visible on clear days. After crossing the coast, the landscape transitions to the rolling countryside of East Anglia and the Midlands before descending toward the London area.
