London to Bangalore flight path: LHR to BLR

Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from London to Bangalore. The right side captures the flight's best cruise-phase scenery — the Alps near the Austria-Italy border early in the route, the Zagros Mountains and arid plateau of Iran, glimpses of the Persian Gulf and Arabian Peninsula coastline, and finally the approach into Bengaluru's cityscape — giving it far more variety than the mostly featureless left side.

During takeoff from Heathrow (LHR), sit on the Left side for the best views. Eastbound departures off Heathrow's westerly runways climb out toward Windsor before banking left (south) to join the route toward the Channel, and that turn briefly swings central London into view on the left side. It's a short window of interest before the flight settles into featureless Home Counties farmland. Notable sights include: River Thames, City of London/Canary Wharf towers, Windsor Great Park, patchwork farmland of Surrey.

When landing at Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru (BLR), sit on the Right side for the best views. On the final approach into Bengaluru, arriving traffic typically lines up over the northern outskirts and descends toward the airport, putting the city's sprawling tech-park districts and reservoirs on the right side of the cabin. The left side mostly shows open scrubland and the flat Deccan plateau with little to distinguish it. Notable sights include: Bengaluru's IT corridor (Whitefield/Electronic City glass towers in the distance), scattered irrigation tanks and lakes, Deccan Plateau farmland, distant hint of Nandi Hills to the north.

The flight from Heathrow (LHR) to Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru (BLR) takes 9h 50m.

The route's midpoint lies roughly over the Zagros Mountains and southern Iranian plateau, with the Persian Gulf and the edge of the Arabian Peninsula visible before the long crossing of the Arabian Sea toward India's west coast.
