Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from London to Aarhus. Left side wins at both ends of the flight. During the cruise the route tracks northeast over the southern North Sea, and left-side seats face northwest toward the English and Dutch coasts, while right side looks out over open water. Left is the better choice throughout.

During takeoff from Gatwick (LGW), sit on the Left side for the best views. Gatwick's runway 26L/08R runs roughly east-west. Departing westbound on 26L, the aircraft turns northeast toward Denmark. A left-side seat gives views over the North Downs and then the Thames Estuary as the route tracks northeast. Right side faces south toward the Weald, which is less interesting. Notable sights include: North Downs ridge, Thames Estuary, Canary Wharf and City of London skyline to the northwest, Medway towns.

When landing at Aarhus (AAR), sit on the Left side for the best views. Aarhus Airport (AAR) runway 10R/28L runs roughly east-west. Arrivals from the west on runway 10R approach from over the Kattegat. A left seat faces north, giving views over the Djursland peninsula and the Kattegat sea. Right side faces south toward farmland with less visual interest. Notable sights include: Kattegat strait, Djursland peninsula, Aarhus Bay (Aarhus Bugt), Mols Bjerge hills.

The flight from Gatwick (LGW) to Aarhus (AAR) takes Approximately 1 hour 45 minutes.

The flight crosses the southern North Sea, passing roughly over or near the Dutch coast around IJmuiden and the Frisian Islands. At cruise altitude the North Sea appears as a vast grey expanse. The Dutch and German coastlines with their distinctive Wadden Sea tidal flats may be visible on the left side. As the route enters Danish airspace it crosses the Jutland peninsula before descending toward Aarhus.
