Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Luxemburg to London. Left side wins both departure and arrival. Over Luxembourg it captures the city's dramatic gorge topography, and on approach to Heathrow it faces south over the Thames and London's recognizable skyline. The right side offers Belgian and French farmland in the cruise and suburban north London on approach — considerably less distinctive.

During takeoff from Findel International Airport (LUX), sit on the Left side for the best views. Findel typically departs on runway 06 (heading northeast) or 24 (heading southwest). On a westbound flight to London, expect runway 24 departure heading southwest, then a left turn northwest. The left side captures the Alzette valley, Luxembourg City's old town on its promontory, and the Pétrusse gorge below. Right side faces open farmland toward Germany. Notable sights include: Luxembourg City old town on its rocky spur, Pétrusse valley gorge, Alzette river valley, Kirchberg plateau district.

When landing at Heathrow (LHR), sit on the Left side for the best views. Heathrow predominantly lands on easterly headings (runway 27L/27R from the east, or 09L/09R from the west). Arriving from Luxembourg heading northwest, aircraft typically join the ILS from the east on runways 27L or 27R. On this easterly approach, the left side looks south over central London — the Thames, City of London, and Canary Wharf are clearly visible. Right side faces north toward the M25 corridor and suburban Middlesex. Notable sights include: River Thames snaking through central London, Canary Wharf tower cluster, The Shard and City of London skyline, Windsor Castle and Windsor Great Park.

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

The route tracks northwest over Belgium, crossing the Ardennes plateau near Liège, then over the flat agricultural plains of Brabant and Flanders. The English Channel crossing occurs near Calais and Dover, with the white cliffs of Dover and the Strait of Dover visible on clear days. Over southeast England the route passes above the North Downs and the Thames Estuary before joining the Heathrow approach corridor.
