Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from London to Amman. The right side delivers the spectacular London departure view over the Thames and city center, and during the cruise over Europe and the eastern Mediterranean the right (south) side also picks up the Alps in the distance and the Greek islands. The left side wins at landing but the departure experience on the right is the highlight of this route.

During takeoff from Heathrow (LHR), sit on the Right side for the best views. Heathrow typically departs eastbound on runways 09L/09R, so the right (south) side gives you a clear view over central London as the aircraft climbs and turns southeast. You'll track over the Thames, with the city laid out clearly below before heading toward the Channel. Notable sights include: River Thames snaking through central London, Canary Wharf tower cluster, The O2 arena dome at Greenwich, Windsor Castle to the west before the turn.

When landing at Queen Alia International (AMM), sit on the Left side for the best views. Queen Alia International typically lands on runway 26L/26R from the east, meaning the aircraft approaches from the east heading west. The left (south) side gives you the best view of the Dead Sea depression and the dramatic escarpment of the Jordanian highlands as you descend. The right side faces north toward Amman city but the terrain drama is on the south side. Notable sights include: Dead Sea visible as a dark blue inland body of water in the Jordan Rift Valley, Jordanian highland plateau dropping sharply into the rift, the sprawl of Amman on the plateau to the north, arid wadi systems cutting through the limestone hills.

The flight from Heathrow (LHR) to Queen Alia International (AMM) takes Approximately 4 hours 45 minutes to 5 hours 15 minutes.

The route tracks southeast over France, crossing the Alps or their southern foothills near the French-Italian border, then over northern Italy and the Adriatic Sea, across Greece and the Aegean with its scattered island chains, then over the eastern Mediterranean before crossing the Lebanese coast and descending over the Syrian desert plateau into Jordan. The Dead Sea Rift Valley is visible on descent.
