Costa Teguise
The beautiful eastern resorts and turquoise waters of Lanzarote visible immediately after departure from ACE.
Lisbon Coastline
Distant views of the Portuguese capital's coastline and the mouth of the Tagus River as the plane heads north.
Bay of Biscay
Crossing the deep blue waters of the bay, where you may spot large cargo ships or whitecaps on the Atlantic swells.
Culzean Castle
The historic cliffside castle and its sprawling estate on the Ayrshire coast become visible during the final minutes of the flight.
Royal Troon & Turnberry
Iconic Scottish golf links visible along the coast as the plane banks toward the Prestwick runway.
The right side is ideal for catching the light of the morning sun without direct glare. It offers the best views of the Scottish mainland during the approach. For the best experience, try to sit behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the Ayrshire cliffside castles and golf courses during the low-altitude approach.

Timanfaya National Park
Dramatic views of the lunar-like volcanic craters and lava fields of western Lanzarote shortly after takeoff.
Cape St. Vincent
The southwesternmost point of Portugal, where steep cliffs meet the Atlantic, often visible mid-flight.
Isle of Arran
The mountainous silhouette of 'Scotland in Miniature' provides a stunning backdrop on the left as you enter the Firth of Clyde.
Ailsa Craig
A prominent volcanic plug island in the Firth of Clyde, famous for its gannet colonies and curling stone granite.
Sit on the left if you are a fan of dramatic island silhouettes and volcanic geography. During the descent, keep your eyes peeled for the rugged peaks of Arran. Since this is a north-bound flight, the afternoon sun will be on the left, which might cause glare; choose morning flights for clearer photos from this side.
