Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Larnaca to London. Right-side seats capture the most dramatic scenery: the Troodos Mountains during departure and the full sweep of the Mediterranean, Greek islands, and southern European coastlines during the cruise phase. Left-side seats offer the English Channel and Sussex coast on descent, but right-side provides more sustained visual interest across the longer middle portion of the flight.

During takeoff from Larnaca (LCA), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of the Troodos Mountains as the aircraft climbs northwestward from Larnaca. The range dominates the interior of Cyprus and provides dramatic elevation contrast against the coastal plains. Notable sights include: Troodos Mountains, Larnaca Salt Lake (south of airport), Mediterranean coastline, Nicosia (distant, inland).

When landing at Gatwick (LGW), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide views of the English Channel and the Sussex coastline as the aircraft descends toward Gatwick from the south. The contrast between the water and the green English countryside is striking during final approach. Notable sights include: English Channel, Sussex coastline (cliffs near Beachy Head area), South Downs ridge, Gatwick airport and surrounding towns.

The flight from Larnaca (LCA) to Gatwick (LGW) takes Approximately 4 hours 45 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Mediterranean northwestward, passing east of Crete and south of mainland Greece. Right-side passengers may glimpse the Greek islands (Crete, Rhodes, and smaller Aegean islands) as distant landmasses on the horizon during cruise altitude. The Ionian Sea and Albanian/Greek coastline appear on the left during the approach to European airspace. As the aircraft crosses into European airspace over Greece or Albania, the Pindus Mountains become visible on the left side. The flight then proceeds over the Balkans and central Europe, crossing Italy's Apennine Mountains (visible on either side depending on exact routing) before reaching the English Channel.
