Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Quito to London. The takeoff from Quito offers more dramatic and visually distinctive scenery—the Andes volcanic peaks are far more striking than the landing approach over London's urban sprawl. The climb-out views are unmatched on this route.

During takeoff from Mariscal Sucre International (UIO), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats offer immediate views of the Andes peaks surrounding Quito during climb-out. The aircraft departs northwestward, and left windows face the volcanic peaks that dominate the landscape. Notable sights include: Pichincha volcano (active, snow-capped), Cotopaxi volcano (visible to the south on clear days), Quito's urban sprawl in the valley floor, Andes ridge line running north-south.

When landing at City (LCY), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats provide excellent views of the Thames, London's urban grid, and the approach path over southeast England. The aircraft descends from the east over the Thames estuary and central London before landing at City Airport on the Isle of Dogs. Notable sights include: Thames River (winding through central London), Tower Bridge and the City of London financial district, Isle of Dogs (where City Airport sits), Greenwich Peninsula and the Thames barrier.

The flight from Mariscal Sucre International (UIO) to City (LCY) takes Approximately 10.5 to 11.5 hours (depending on winds and routing).

The flight crosses the Caribbean Sea and passes over or near the Yucatan Peninsula (Mexico), then continues over the Atlantic. Notable features include the Bahamas archipelago (if visible during daylight), the Atlantic coastline of North Africa (Morocco/Western Sahara region) on the approach to Europe, and the Bay of Biscay before reaching the UK. Most of the transatlantic portion occurs over open ocean with limited landmark visibility.
