London to Tbilisi flight path: LHR to TBS

Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from London to Tbilisi. The right side offers the more dynamic visual arc of the flight: London's skyline at departure, glimpses of the Alps and Carpathians along the cruise track, and a dramatic Caucasus Mountain backdrop on arrival into Tbilisi. The left side mostly overlooks the flatter plains of northern-central Europe with little topographic variation.

During takeoff from Heathrow (LHR), sit on the Right side for the best views. Eastbound departures from Heathrow typically climb out to the west before turning south and east over the city, putting central London on the right side of the aircraft. Passengers get a brief but clear view of the Thames, Canary Wharf, and the city skyline before the jet settles onto its easterly track. Notable sights include: River Thames, Canary Wharf towers, Central London skyline, Isle of Dogs.

When landing at Tbilisi International Airport (TBS), sit on the Right side for the best views. On the final approach into Tbilisi, the aircraft continues largely along its incoming track from the northwest, landing southeast on the airport's single runway. This puts the snow-capped Greater Caucasus range on the right side, along with the Mtkvari (Kura) River valley and the hills surrounding the city. Notable sights include: Greater Caucasus mountain range, Mtkvari (Kura) River, Tbilisi old town hills, Trialeti foothills.

The flight from Heathrow (LHR) to Tbilisi International Airport (TBS) takes about 5 hours 20 minutes. The shortest flight path between them is 2,221 miles (3,574 km); winds and air traffic control usually add a few percent.
