Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Salt Lake City to London. While the takeoff offers excellent mountain scenery on the left, the landing approach into London City provides more sustained and dramatic urban scenery on the right side. The Thames, Canary Wharf, and central London views during descent are more visually engaging than the cruise phase over the Atlantic.

During takeoff from Salt Lake City International (SLC), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats offer immediate views of the Wasatch Range as the aircraft climbs northeastward from SLC. The mountains rise dramatically to the east and north of the airport, creating a striking backdrop during the initial climb phase. Notable sights include: Wasatch Range (directly ahead and to the left during climb), Great Salt Lake (visible to the northwest as a large inland water body), Salt Lake City urban grid (receding below), Antelope Island (prominent feature within the Great Salt Lake).

When landing at City (LCY), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats provide the best views during the final approach into London City Airport. The aircraft descends over the Thames estuary and central London from the west, and right-side windows face toward the river, Canary Wharf, and the City of London financial district as the plane lines up for landing. Notable sights include: River Thames (winding through central London, clearly visible from altitude), Canary Wharf (distinctive tall cluster of modern buildings on the Isle of Dogs), City of London financial district (dense urban core with recognizable skyline), Tower Bridge (visible spanning the Thames in the final approach corridor).

The flight from Salt Lake City International (SLC) to City (LCY) takes Approximately 10.5 to 11 hours.

The flight path crosses the North Atlantic at high altitude (typically 35,000-41,000 feet). Notable features include: Greenland's ice sheet and coastal mountains visible during the northern route over the Davis Strait; the Atlantic Ocean itself (featureless at cruise altitude except for occasional cloud formations); and the approach to the UK over the Irish Sea and Wales, with the Welsh mountains (Snowdonia) visible on the left side during the descent into London from the west. The flight typically passes south of Iceland and north of Ireland, though these are often obscured by cloud cover at cruise altitude.
