Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from London to Miami. Right side wins both the departure over east London and the arrival into Miami with Biscayne Bay views. Over the Atlantic the views are largely featureless ocean on both sides, so the departure and arrival experiences tip the balance decisively to the right.

During takeoff from City (LCY), sit on the Right side for the best views. LCY's runway 27 departure heads west over the Thames, and a right-side seat gives you a clear view south over the Isle of Dogs, Canary Wharf towers, and the river bends through Greenwich. The O2 Arena dome is unmistakable from this angle as you climb out over east London. Notable sights include: Canary Wharf tower cluster, O2 Arena dome, Thames river bends through Greenwich, Royal Docks directly below.

When landing at Miami International (MIA), sit on the Right side for the best views. MIA typically uses runway 09 for eastward arrivals, meaning the approach comes in from the west over the Everglades. A right-side seat faces south, giving you views over Biscayne Bay, Miami Beach's barrier island, and the downtown Miami skyline as you descend. The turquoise shallow waters of the bay are visually striking on approach. Notable sights include: Biscayne Bay, Miami Beach barrier island, downtown Miami skyline, Florida Keys chain visible to the south on clear days.

The flight from City (LCY) to Miami International (MIA) takes Approximately 9 to 10 hours westbound.

The flight tracks northwest out of London, crossing Ireland or southern tip of Greenland depending on the jet stream routing, then arcs across the North Atlantic. Mid-flight passes over or near Newfoundland and Nova Scotia, where the Canadian Maritime coastline may be briefly visible. The route then crosses the eastern seaboard of the US — potentially the Carolinas or Georgia coast — before descending over Florida, crossing the flat Everglades wetlands on approach to Miami.
