Portuguese Coastline
The flight path often mirrors the coast of Portugal, offering distant views of the Lisbon area.
Bay of Biscay
Crossing the wide bay where the Atlantic meets the European continental shelf near France.
Brittany Peninsula
See the jagged coastline of northwest France before the aircraft crosses the English Channel.
The Peak District
Enjoy the rolling green hills and dales of northern England during the descent into Manchester Airport.
The right side is ideal for spotting land. You will see the Lanzarote coastline on departure, and later, the flight often passes within sight of the Portuguese and French coasts. Upon entering UK airspace, you get a great view of the English countryside and the rolling hills of the Peak District. Note that morning flights will be quite bright on this side due to the sun position.
