Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from London to Antigua. Left side wins both ends of the flight. During the Atlantic crossing the views are largely open ocean on both sides, but the left side also offers the better approach to the Azores archipelago if routing passes near it, and delivers the superior arrival view over Antigua's historic south coast harbours.

During takeoff from Heathrow (LHR), sit on the Left side for the best views. Heathrow typically departs westbound on runways 27L/27R, then aircraft turn south and southwest. The left side gives you the Thames valley, central London, and the Surrey Hills as you climb out and bank. Right side faces north toward the M25 corridor and suburban sprawl. Notable sights include: Thames River snaking east toward central London, Windsor Castle and Great Park to the west, Surrey Hills escarpment to the south, Wembley Stadium arch visible to the northeast.

When landing at V C Bird International (ANU), sit on the Left side for the best views. V C Bird International sits on the northeast coast of Antigua. Aircraft typically approach from the east or northeast, landing on runway 07 or 25. On a westward approach to runway 25, the left side looks south over the island interior, English Harbour, and Falmouth Harbour. The right side faces north over open Atlantic. Notable sights include: English Harbour and Nelson's Dockyard on the south coast, Falmouth Harbour adjacent to it, the green hilly interior of Antigua, the turquoise reef-fringed coastline of the south and west.

The flight from Heathrow (LHR) to V C Bird International (ANU) takes Approximately 8 to 8.5 hours.

The route tracks southwest across the Bay of Biscay, then out over the open North Atlantic. Depending on winds and routing, the flight may pass within sight of the Azores islands (Flores or Corvo) roughly midway. The final third of the flight crosses the northeastern Caribbean, with possible distant views of Guadeloupe and other Leeward Islands on descent.
