Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Edinburgh to Keflavik. While the left side offers excellent Edinburgh departure views, the right side dominates the longer flight segment with unobstructed views of Iceland's unique volcanic landscape and the dramatic Reykjanes Peninsula during descent and landing—a more visually distinctive experience overall.

During takeoff from Edinburgh (EDI), sit on the Left side for the best views.

The right side faces inland toward the Lammermuir Hills with less dramatic scenery. Notable sights include: Pentland Hills, Firth of Forth, Edinburgh city center, Forth Road Bridge.

When landing at Keflavik Nas (KEF), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right side provides views of Iceland's southwestern coastline, the Reykjanes Peninsula's distinctive lava fields, and the approach to Keflavik. The left side faces open Atlantic Ocean with minimal visual interest during descent.

The flight from Edinburgh (EDI) to Keflavik Nas (KEF) takes Approximately 2 hours 45 minutes to 3 hours.

The flight path crosses the North Sea and approaches Iceland from the southeast. Midpoint views include open ocean with occasional visibility of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge's influence on Iceland's geology. As the aircraft approaches Iceland, the distinctive volcanic terrain becomes visible—dark lava fields, scattered geothermal areas with steam vents, and the irregular coastline created by ancient lava flows meeting the Atlantic. The Reykjanes Peninsula's characteristic dark volcanic landscape dominates the final approach phase.
