Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from London to Muscat. Right side wins on takeoff with the London panorama, which is the most visually dramatic moment of the flight. The midpoint over Iran and the Gulf is relatively featureless from either side. Landing favors left, but the London departure view is the highlight of the route overall.

During takeoff from Heathrow (LHR), sit on the Right side for the best views. Heathrow departures heading east on runway 27L/27R (westerly wind, most common) mean a right turn toward London. The right side gets the Thames snaking through central London, the City skyline, and Canary Wharf. Left side faces Windsor and the Home Counties with far less visual interest. Notable sights include: Thames river bends through central London, Canary Wharf cluster, The City/St Paul's area, Windsor Castle and Great Park (briefly, on climb-out).

When landing at Seeb International (MCT), sit on the Left side for the best views. Muscat approaches from the northeast over the Gulf of Oman, tracking southwest toward runway 26. The left side faces south toward the dramatic Hajar Mountains — the Al Hajar range rises sharply from the coastal plain and is unmissable on descent. The right side looks north over open water. Notable sights include: Al Hajar Mountains (Western Hajar range), Gulf of Oman coastline, Muscat urban area and port, barren rocky coastal plain between mountains and sea.

The flight from Heathrow (LHR) to Seeb International (MCT) takes Approximately 7 hours 30 minutes to 8 hours.

The route tracks southeast over France and the Alps (briefly visible), then across northern Italy, the Adriatic, Greece, and Turkey. Over eastern Turkey and Iran the terrain becomes high plateau and mountain ranges including the Zagros Mountains — visually striking brown ridgelines visible from both sides. The Persian Gulf coast of Iran and the UAE coastline appear before descent into Muscat. The Strait of Hormuz may be visible depending on exact routing.
