Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Montego Bay to London. Left side wins both the departure over Montego Bay's reef and coastline and the arrival over the Thames and London. Over the Atlantic the views are similar on both sides, but the left side also offers slightly better angles on the Azores if the routing passes near them, and picks up the Irish coastline on approach.

During takeoff from Sangster International (MBJ), sit on the Left side for the best views. MBJ typically departs on Runway 07 heading east, which puts the left (north) side facing the Caribbean Sea and the Jamaican coastline. You get a clear view of the turquoise waters of the Montego Bay Marine Park and the hotel strip along the coast as the aircraft climbs out over the water. Notable sights include: Montego Bay Marine Park reef system, Doctor's Cave Beach strip, the Blue Mountains visible to the southeast on the horizon, Montego Bay harbor.

When landing at Heathrow (LHR), sit on the Left side for the best views. Heathrow predominantly uses westerly runways (09L/27R and 09R/27L), and on the standard approach from the east over London, aircraft fly westbound over the city. The left side faces south, giving views over central London landmarks, the Thames, and the city grid. The right side faces north toward suburban Middlesex with far less to see. Notable sights include: River Thames and its distinctive bends through central London, Windsor Castle and Windsor Great Park to the west, the M25 motorway ring, Wembley Stadium arch visible to the north on left-side approach.

The flight from Sangster International (MBJ) to Heathrow (LHR) takes Approximately 9 hours 30 minutes to 10 hours.

The flight tracks northeast from Jamaica across the western Atlantic, passing north of Hispaniola and Puerto Rico early in the climb. The mid-Atlantic portion is open ocean with occasional cloud systems visible below. Depending on routing, the Azores archipelago may appear as small dark volcanic islands roughly 5-6 hours in. Approaching Europe, the southwest Irish coast near Cork or Kerry comes into view, followed by the Celtic Sea, Cornwall's peninsula tip, and then the English Channel before the Thames estuary and London approach.
