Dunnottar Castle
The iconic medieval fortress perched atop dramatic cliffs just south of Aberdeen.
St Andrews
Aerial views of the historic town and the world-renowned Old Course golf links.
Firth of Forth
Crossing the wide estuary with views toward the Forth Bridges and the Edinburgh skyline.
Holy Island
The tidal island of Lindisfarne and the imposing silhouette of Bamburgh Castle on the Northumbrian coast.
Whitby & Scarborough
The rugged coastline of the North York Moors National Park meeting the sea.
Spurn Point
The unique, narrow sand spit curving into the mouth of the Humber Estuary.
The Norfolk Broads
The network of rivers and lakes visible during the final descent into Norwich.
The right side is significantly more scenic for this route. Request a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine glare and wing obstruction. For the best lighting on the landscape, afternoon flights provide the warmest glow on the cliffs and castles. Watch closely immediately after takeoff for Dunnottar Castle and again about 20 minutes before landing for the Humber Bridge.
