Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Tel-aviv to London. Right side wins at takeoff for the Tel Aviv coast, but left side delivers the superior London arrival spectacle over the Thames and central London. For the cruise portion, the flight tracks northwest over the eastern Mediterranean, Greece, the Adriatic, Alps, and France — left side gets better views of the Greek islands and the Alps on this heading. Left side edges it overall.

During takeoff from Ben Gurion (TLV), sit on the Right side for the best views. Ben Gurion's primary departure runway is 26 (westward), so a right-side seat faces north, giving you a clear view over Tel Aviv's coastline, the Mediterranean shore stretching toward Haifa, and the urban grid of greater Tel Aviv. The left side faces south over less distinctive terrain. Notable sights include: Tel Aviv beachfront and port, Mediterranean coastline toward Haifa, Yarkon River mouth, Sharon Plain urban sprawl.

When landing at Heathrow (LHR), sit on the Left side for the best views. Heathrow's most common landing approach is from the east on runway 27L/27R, meaning the aircraft tracks westward over London. A left-side seat faces south, giving you the best view over central London — the Thames, the City, and the West End as you descend. Right side faces north over suburban Middlesex with far less to see. Notable sights include: River Thames and its bends through central London, City of London skyline, Hyde Park green rectangle, Wembley Stadium arch.

The flight from Ben Gurion (TLV) to Heathrow (LHR) takes Approximately 4 hours 45 minutes to 5 hours 15 minutes.

Eastern Mediterranean Sea, Greek islands (Aegean archipelago visible on clear days), northern Greece and Macedonia, Adriatic Sea coastline, the Alps crossing over Austria or Switzerland with snow-capped peaks visible, southern Germany or France depending on routing, English Channel before descent into London
