Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏰

Belfast Lough & Carrickfergus

Direct views of the historic Carrickfergus Castle and the industrial heritage of the Belfast shipyards during the climb.

🏔️

Snowdonia National Park

Breathtaking views of Eryri's highest peaks, including Snowdon, as the flight tracks down the Welsh coast.

🌉

Severn Bridges

Spot the two iconic motorway bridges crossing the Severn Estuary, marking the border between Wales and England.

🏙️

Bristol City & Docks

Clear visibility of the Bristol urban area and the busy Avonmouth Docks just before entering Devon airspace.

⛰️

Mendip Hills

The limestone ridges and Gorges of the Mendips are often visible during the initial stages of the descent into Exeter.

Sit on the left for the best mountain views of Wales. On afternoon flights, the sun will be on the opposite side, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Severn Estuary. Watch for the Isle of Man mid-flight if the visibility is high.

🏗️

Titanic Quarter

A fantastic aerial perspective of the H&W cranes and the Titanic Belfast museum shortly after takeoff from BHD.

Dramatic views of the sweeping Welsh coastline and the Llyn Peninsula stretching out into the Irish Sea.

🌳

Dartmoor National Park

During the final approach into EXT, the wild and rugged tors of Dartmoor dominate the horizon to the west.

⛪

Exeter Cathedral

Depending on the landing direction, you may see the historic city center and its Gothic cathedral just before touchdown.

Choose the right side for morning flights to avoid the glare of the sun. This side is particularly good for coastal enthusiasts, offering prolonged views of the Irish Sea and the edges of the Celtic Sea.
