Scottish Borders
Rolling green landscapes and the Southern Uplands as you transition into English airspace.
The Pennines
The 'backbone of England' provides scenic views of moorlands and dales to the west.
London Cityscape
Iconic views of The Shard, St. Paul's Cathedral, and the London Eye during the approach.
Greenwich Peninsula
A bird's-eye view of the O2 Arena and the Greenwich Observatory.
Canary Wharf
The towering skyscrapers of London's financial heart appear incredibly close on final descent.
Essential for the best views of central London. Because London City Airport requires a steep 5.5-degree approach, sitting behind the wing provides the best unobstructed downward view of the skyline. Evening flights are particularly spectacular as the city lights are showcased.
