Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic North Yorkshire coastline, including the white chalk cliffs of Flamborough Head and the vast expanse of the North York Moors National Park.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🚢

Port of Amsterdam

A sweeping view of the North Sea Canal and the industrial docklands stretching from the city center to the coast at IJmuiden.

🌅

Flamborough Head

Dramatic white chalk cliffs and sea stacks jutting into the North Sea, often the first landmark seen when reaching the UK.

🌲

North York Moors

A vast National Park featuring deep dales and expansive moorland that turns deep purple with blooming heather in late summer.

⛰️

Roseberry Topping

The iconic half-conical hill known as the 'Matterhorn of Yorkshire' is clearly visible just before the final turn into Teesside.

🏭

Tees Valley Industry

A fascinating look at the industrial heritage of the River Tees, including the sprawling chemical works and the historic Transporter Bridge.

The right side is the prime spot for coastal enthusiasts. Late afternoon flights are particularly scenic as the setting sun illuminates the Yorkshire cliffs. In August and September, the heather on the Moors is a must-see. Watch for the seaside towns of Scarborough and Whitby as you cross the coastline.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Amsterdam & Haarlem

Clear views of the historic canal networks of Amsterdam or the medieval center of Haarlem shortly after takeoff from Schiphol.

🌊

North Sea Wind Farms

Aerial perspective of the massive offshore wind arrays and cargo shipping lanes that dot the crossing between the Netherlands and the UK.

⛱️

Spurn Point

The unique, narrow sand spit curving into the Humber Estuary, marking the entry point into Northern English airspace.

🏘️

Yorkshire Wolds

Rolling agricultural landscapes and chalk hills of East Yorkshire providing a patchwork of green and gold fields.

⛪

York Minster

On a clear day, look southwest during the descent to spot the massive gothic towers of York Minster in the distance.

Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you, reducing glare on the window. This side is also excellent for spotting the Humber Bridge if the pilot takes a more southerly approach path. Keep an eye out for the distinct 'V' shape of the Spurn Head lighthouse.
