Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from London to Plaisance. While left offers good London departure views, the right side dominates the longer journey with superior scenery over the Mauritius approach and island landing—the volcanic peaks and turquoise lagoon are the flight's visual highlights.

During takeoff from Heathrow (LHR), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats offer views of the Thames estuary and London's urban sprawl during the initial climb-out westward from Heathrow. You'll see the river's meandering path and the Greater London conurbation spreading beneath you. Notable sights include: River Thames estuary, Greater London urban area, Windsor Castle area (distant), Chiltern Hills (southern edge, far horizon).

When landing at Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International (MRU), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats provide excellent views during the descent approach to Mauritius. You'll see the island's dramatic volcanic topography, coral reefs in the surrounding turquoise lagoon, and the central plateau rising from the coastal plains. Notable sights include: Piton de la Petite Rivière Noire (southwestern peak), Moka Range (central highlands), coral reef system and lagoon (turquoise waters), Port Louis harbor area.

The flight from Heathrow (LHR) to Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International (MRU) takes Approximately 11-12 hours.

The flight path crosses the Bay of Biscay (rough Atlantic waters visible in early stages), then proceeds south over the Atlantic Ocean. Mid-flight offers limited ground features—primarily open ocean. As you approach Africa's west coast around 6-7 hours in, you may glimpse the Sahara Desert's tan expanses and coastal cities like Dakar (Senegal) or further south. The final 3-4 hours cross the South Atlantic toward the Indian Ocean, with no significant landmarks until the approach to Mauritius. The island's volcanic origin and surrounding reef system become visible approximately 30-45 minutes before landing.
