About This Route
Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Sevilla (SVQ) to City (LCY)?
Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Sevilla to London. Right-side seats capture the most dramatic scenery: the Guadalquivir's meanders during departure and the Bay of Cádiz, then the Pyrenees and French landscape during the flight's midpoint, and finally the Thames estuary approaching London. Left seats miss the Spanish departure scenery and offer less during the continental crossing.
