Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Orlando to London. Left side wins at both ends of the flight. During the transatlantic crossing at cruise altitude there is little to differentiate sides over open ocean, but the left seat captures the southern tip of Greenland's ice sheet and Iceland's volcanic coastline more directly on the typical North Atlantic track, plus the superior views at both MCO departure and LHR arrival make left the clear overall choice.

During takeoff from Orlando International (MCO), sit on the Left side for the best views. MCO typically departs on runway 18L/18R heading south, then turns northeast toward the Atlantic. A left/east-facing seat captures the Orlando urban grid, the chain of lakes through central Florida, and the coastline as the aircraft banks northeast. Right side faces inland scrubland with little of interest. Notable sights include: Lake Tohopekaliga to the southeast, the Orlando downtown skyline to the northwest briefly, the Indian River Lagoon and Cape Canaveral coastline as you climb out over Brevard County, Kennedy Space Center launch pads visible on the barrier island.

When landing at Heathrow (LHR), sit on the Left side for the best views. Heathrow predominantly uses westerly runways (09L/09R arrivals from the east, or 27L/27R from the west). On the common easterly approach over London, a left/south-facing seat gives views over central London including the Thames, while right faces north toward less distinctive suburbs. On westerly approaches, left still tracks the Thames corridor and Windsor. Notable sights include: The Thames River snaking through central London, Windsor Castle and Windsor Great Park to the west on final approach, the M25 motorway ring, Wembley Stadium arch visible to the north on easterly approaches.

The flight from Orlando International (MCO) to Heathrow (LHR) takes Approximately 9 hours.

The flight follows a North Atlantic Track routing, typically passing north of the Bahamas, then over open Atlantic, skirting south of or over Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, crossing the North Atlantic with possible views of southern Greenland's ice cap edge and potentially Iceland's southeastern coastline, before descending over Ireland and Wales into London. The Irish coastline and Welsh hills are visible on descent.
