Route map/flight path to Stanstead

frag420

Hi folks.

I will be flying into Stanstead tomorrow from Lsnzarote. I booked a late flight so that I could get a view of London from the air at night(clouds permitting)

Is there a way I can check the flight path so I know best side of plane to sit to get best view?

Cheers

I don't think there's any way of telling in advance, it all depends on what way the wind is blowing (different direction, different runway etc). Plus Stansted is a good bit north of London so it's debatable if you'd even be able to see much of the city from there.

Probably your best bet is to sit on the right as winds will be increasing from the southwest, meaning they'll probably fly to the west of the city and swing around to land on R23. But they could equally fly to the east of the city...it all depends!

And it's Stansted ..without the second a!

Standard arrival irrespective of runway I would expect one of these http://www.ead.eurocontrol.int/eadbasic/pamslight-4C6ED4DAA82E7326B84C24F4C2AE7064/7FE5QZZF3FXUS/EN/Charts/AD/AIRAC/EG_AD_2_EGSS_7-5_en_2013-05-02.pdf

So sit on the right of the aircraft

What time is your flight at because before 9 o'clock the cabin lights will be on and cause a reflection on the windows making it very hard to take good pictures.

Stansted, and runway 22. Not 23. Not to be pedantic or anything

L1011

Its only drifted off 23 in the past few years, though.
