LH First FRA-JFK does it fly over London and if so, which seats?
dear all,
Traveling first time FRA-JFK and was wondering if the flightpath goes over London (my home town) and if it does, which side of the aircraft will I have the best view of London?
Also, on the way back, will it be the opposite side, or does this flightpath not go over London at all?
Always wanted to see London from 30,000 feet, though I admit, chances of getting a clear sky are very little.
Any advice, much appreciated.

The MUC - CLT LH route goes straight over the top on London - about an hour in. I had a port window and had a great view. Also a very good look at God's own country - the South Wales coast. But I think you are somewhat in the lap.

But if there is any place in the world which you can see often from the air then it is London since you have to circle above the city often before landing at LHR. You always have a great view, not from 30,000 feet so.

Depends which north atlantic track (NAT) the JFK flight is scheduled to take and where which NAT is located on that particular day. Let me know if you have any particular day in mind and I'll try to look it up.

I can second that. You might or might not fly over London but chances are not high as this depends on so many factors. Anything from local traffic conditions to wind near Newfoundland.

Actually, pretty stupid of the Queen to build her castle at the extension of the northern runway at the busiest airport in Europe
