Menorca to London flight path: MAH to LGW

Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Menorca to London. The left side wins overall thanks to the dramatic Mallorca mountain backdrop during departure and generally clearer sightlines over the western French countryside during cruise, giving it more consistent visual interest than the right side's mostly flat, hazy eastern views.

During takeoff from Menorca (MAH), sit on the Left side for the best views. Departing Menorca to the north, the initial climb offers a clear view west across the water to Mallorca's rugged coastline and the Serra de Tramuntana mountains rising sharply from the sea, a striking contrast to the flatter Menorcan side. Notable sights include: Menorca's northern coves, Mallorca's Serra de Tramuntana, the open Mediterranean between the islands.

When landing at Gatwick (LGW), sit on the Right side for the best views. On approach into Gatwick from the south, the aircraft typically tracks over the Sussex countryside before turning onto final for runway 26, giving right-side passengers a view north toward London's skyline and the Thames basin in the distance. Notable sights include: South Downs National Park, Sussex farmland patchwork, distant London skyline (Shard, Canary Wharf) on clear days.

The flight from Menorca (MAH) to Gatwick (LGW) takes 2h 35m.
