London to Denver flight path: LHR to DEN

Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from London to Denver. The right side offers the more dramatic and varied journey: Welsh coastal terrain on departure, a chance at Greenland's ice cap and Canadian Arctic coastline during cruise, and a Rocky Mountain approach into Denver, compared to the left side's largely featureless ocean and plains views.

During takeoff from Heathrow (LHR), sit on the Right side for the best views. As the aircraft climbs west off runway 27 and banks slightly north-northwest toward its oceanic entry point, the right side looks out over the Chiltern Hills and the Cotswold edge toward the Severn Valley, while the left side mostly shows featureless Berkshire and Hampshire suburbs receding behind. Notable sights include: Chiltern Hills escarpment, Oxford spires in the distance, Severn Valley, South Wales coastline near the Gower Peninsula.

When landing at Denver International (DEN), sit on the Right side for the best views. Denver's arrivals typically land southbound on the 17-series runways when southwesterly winds prevail, putting the Rocky Mountain Front Range and Denver's skyline on the right side of the aircraft during final descent, while the left side only faces the flat eastern plains. Notable sights include: Rocky Mountain Front Range, Longs Peak, Denver downtown skyline, South Platte River valley.

The flight from Heathrow (LHR) to Denver International (DEN) takes 9h 50m.

The great-circle route carries the flight over southern Ireland, across the North Atlantic past southern Greenland's ice cap and fjords, over the Labrador Sea and Hudson Bay region, then south across the Canadian prairies of Saskatchewan and Manitoba before crossing into Montana and the high plains approaching Colorado.
