Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic Spanish mountains, the French Atlantic coastline, and the final scenic approach over the English heartland towards the Lake District and Blackpool Tower.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏔️

Sierra Nevada

Shortly after takeoff, look east to see the snow-capped peaks of mainland Spain's highest range.

🏔️

Picos de Europa

Spectacular views of the limestone massifs in Northern Spain before crossing the Bay of Biscay.

🏰

Loire Estuary

Clear views of the French coastline where the Loire river meets the sea near Saint-Nazaire.

🏙️

English Midlands

Panoramic views of the British landscape, passing near major hubs like Birmingham and Manchester.

🎡

Blackpool Tower

The iconic landmark is often visible on the right during the final circuit for landing at BLK.

🏞️

Lake District Fells

As the plane descends into Lancashire, the southern mountains of the Lake District are visible to the north.

Sit on the right for the best morning light. The transition from the arid Spanish interior to the lush green of the UK is best observed here. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Spanish coast; the Picos de Europa are a major highlight often missed by passengers.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🌊

Gulf of Cádiz

Distant views of the southwestern Spanish coast and the vast Atlantic horizon shortly after departure.

⚓

Western Brittany

The rugged, wave-battered peninsulas of western France near Brest and the Ushant island.

⛵

Celtic Sea

A long stretch over the open waters where the Atlantic meets the English Channel.

⛰️

Snowdonia Peaks

On the descent, catch the silhouettes of the highest mountains in Wales to the far west.

Choose the left side for sunset flights to avoid direct glare and enjoy the colors over the Atlantic. During the approach into Blackpool, you may see the Isle of Man if the aircraft vectors far enough west over the Irish Sea.
