Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Tromso to London. The Tromsø departure over Arctic fjords and mountains (3.5) outweighs the London landing advantage (2.5 vs 3.5). While London's approach is scenic, the full flight duration means the dramatic Arctic departure and the 4+ hours of North Sea crossing dominate the experience. Left side captures the most distinctive and memorable scenery—the fjord landscape is far more visually striking than open ocean and suburban approach patterns.

During takeoff from Tromso (TOS), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left side captures Tromsø's dramatic Arctic fjord setting with surrounding mountains during departure. The city sits on islands within Tromsøysund, framed by the Tromsø Alps to the east and north—a striking contrast to the open Arctic Ocean to the west. Notable sights include: Tromsøysund fjord, Tromsø city and harbor, Tromsø Alps (Tromsøhalvøya mountains), Arctic coastline.

When landing at City (LCY), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right side offers superior London approach scenery. The descent into London City Airport provides views of the Thames estuary, the winding river through central London, and the city's dense urban fabric—far more visually engaging than the left side's North Sea crossing. Notable sights include: Thames estuary and river bends, London's central districts and skyline, Canary Wharf and East London development, Essex coastline.

The flight from Tromso (TOS) to City (LCY) takes 4h 15m.

North Sea crossing dominates the cruise phase. Departing Tromsø, the flight tracks south-southwest over the Norwegian Sea and North Sea. Notable features include the Norwegian coastline (Nordland and Trøndelag regions) visible briefly after departure if altitude permits, then open water for approximately 3 hours. As the flight approaches the UK, the East Anglian coast and North Sea oil platforms may be visible in clear conditions. The Thames estuary becomes visible during descent into London City.
