Chinijo Archipelago

Immediately after departure, look down for a bird's-eye view of La Graciosa and the smaller volcanic islets north of Lanzarote.

Bay of Biscay

A vast expanse of deep blue water often used by migratory whales; look for the change in water color as you approach the continental shelf.

Isles of Scilly

On clear days, the turquoise waters and white sandy beaches of this archipelago off the Cornish coast are clearly visible.

Eryri (Snowdonia)

As you traverse the Irish Sea or Welsh border, the jagged peaks of North Wales dominate the horizon.

The Lake District

The crowning jewel of the descent, featuring the high fells of Cumbria and deep glacial lakes like Windermere and Ullswater.

Arrecife & Costa Teguise

A final look at the white-washed architecture of Lanzarote's capital and the stark contrast of the volcanic interior.

Portuguese Coastline

Depending on the airway, you may see the distant outline of the Iberian Peninsula, specifically the lights of Lisbon or Porto at night.

Cornish Riviera

The plane typically enters UK airspace over Cornwall or Devon, providing views of St Ives Bay and the rugged South West Coast Path.

The Severn Bridges

As you cross the Bristol Channel, the two massive suspension bridges connecting England and Wales are distinct landmarks.

Yorkshire Dales

As the plane begins its descent into Newcastle, you'll pass over the green, limestone-walled fields of the North Yorkshire countryside.
