Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Amman to London. Left side wins both ends of the flight. During the cruise over Turkey and the Balkans, the left side also faces south, keeping the Mediterranean coastline and Aegean islands in view longer. The right side faces north toward less dramatic terrain for most of the route.

During takeoff from Queen Alia International (AMM), sit on the Left side for the best views. Queen Alia typically departs northwest on runway 26L/26R, meaning the left side faces south toward the Dead Sea depression and the Jordanian highlands. You get a clear view of the dramatic escarpment dropping toward the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth, visible as a distinctive pale blue-grey body of water in the rift valley below. Notable sights include: Dead Sea (visible as a pale elongated body in the Jordan Rift Valley), Jordanian Highland plateau edge, Wadi Mujib canyon system cutting through the escarpment, the city of Madaba to the southwest.

When landing at Heathrow (LHR), sit on the Left side for the best views. Heathrow predominantly lands on easterly headings (runway 27L/27R when landing westbound, or 09L/09R eastbound). On the standard approach from the east or southeast, the left side looks south over central London, giving views of the Thames, the City, and recognizable urban geography. The right side faces north toward less distinctive suburban sprawl. Notable sights include: River Thames snaking through central London, City of London cluster and Canary Wharf towers, Windsor Castle and Windsor Great Park to the west on final approach, the M25 orbital motorway ring visible as a broad grey arc.

The flight from Queen Alia International (AMM) to Heathrow (LHR) takes Approximately 5 hours 15 minutes to 5 hours 45 minutes.

The route tracks northwest from Amman over the Syrian Desert, then across southern Turkey where the Taurus Mountains are visible, over the Aegean Sea with Greek island chains below, across the Balkans over Bulgaria and Serbia, then central Europe over Austria and Germany, crossing the English Channel near Calais before descending into London. The Alps may be visible to the south as a distant white serrated ridge if routing takes you near Switzerland.
