Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from London to Luxemburg. While the right side wins at takeoff, the left side captures the most dramatic single moment of the flight — Luxembourg City's gorge and old town on approach — and also offers views of the Belgian Ardennes and parts of the Meuse valley during the cruise. The left side has the edge overall for geographic interest.

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 side gives you a clear view south over central London as you climb out. You'll see the Thames snaking through the city, with the Canary Wharf cluster and the City of London skyline visible to the southeast. Notable sights include: River Thames bends through central London, Canary Wharf tower cluster, Windsor Castle and Great Park to the west if departing westbound, M25 orbital motorway ring.

When landing at Findel International Airport (LUX), sit on the Left side for the best views. Findel Airport sits northeast of Luxembourg City, and aircraft typically approach from the west or northwest on runway 06/24. On approach from the west, the left side gives a direct view down over Luxembourg City itself, including the dramatic Alzette river gorge and the old town perched on its sandstone promontory. Notable sights include: Luxembourg City old town on its rock promontory, Alzette and Pétrusse river gorges, Kirchberg plateau with EU institutions, Moselle valley vineyards to the east.

The flight from Heathrow (LHR) to Findel International Airport (LUX) takes Approximately 1 hour 20 minutes.

The flight tracks southeast across southern England, crosses the Channel near Calais or Dunkirk, then passes over the flat plains of northern Belgium around Brussels before crossing into the rolling forested hills of the Belgian and Luxembourg Ardennes. The Ardennes plateau is the most visually interesting mid-flight feature — dark conifer forest broken by river valleys. The Meuse valley may be visible on the left side during descent.
