Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Tbilisi to London. The right side delivers the dramatic Greater Caucasus panorama on departure, which is the single most spectacular view of the entire flight. Over Turkey and the Black Sea the views are broadly similar on both sides, and the London approach views on the left are interesting but relatively modest. The Caucasus departure clinches it for the right.

During takeoff from Lochini (TBS), sit on the Right side for the best views. Tbilisi airport sits in the Mtkvari river valley. Departing westward on runway 31, the right side faces north toward the Greater Caucasus range, with the snow-capped peaks of the main Caucasus ridge clearly visible. The city of Tbilisi itself also passes on the right during the initial climb. Notable sights include: Greater Caucasus main ridge (snow-capped), Tbilisi old town and Narikala fortress, Mtkvari (Kura) river valley, Trialeti ridge to the south visible on left.

When landing at Heathrow (LHR), sit on the Left side for the best views. Heathrow typically uses easterly approaches on runways 27L/27R in westerly winds, meaning the aircraft tracks in from the west over Windsor and the Thames. The left side gets the Thames river, central London skyline, and the City including Canary Wharf visible to the northeast during the approach. Notable sights include: River Thames snaking toward central London, Windsor Castle and Windsor Great Park, Canary Wharf cluster on the horizon, M25 motorway ring.

The flight from Lochini (TBS) to Heathrow (LHR) takes Approximately 5 hours 30 minutes to 6 hours.

The route tracks northwest from Tbilisi across eastern Turkey, passing over the Anatolian plateau and the Pontic Mountains near Trabzon. The Black Sea crossing follows, typically over its central or eastern basin. The route then crosses Bulgaria and Romania, over the Carpathian arc visible as a wrinkled ridge system, then across central Europe over Austria, Germany, and the Netherlands before descending into the UK.
