Which side of the plane to sit from George Best Belfast City Airport (Belfast) to Inverness Airport (Inverness)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the iconic Scottish Highlands, including the Great Glen and the chance to spot Loch Ness and Ben Nevis on the approach into Inverness.
Antrim Coast
Rugged cliffs and coastal scenery of Northern Ireland immediately following takeoff from BHD.
Paps of Jura
The three distinctive conical quartzite mountains on the island of Jura visible across the water.
Ben Nevis
The highest mountain in the British Isles, often visible rising above the surrounding Grampian peaks.
Loch Ness
The legendary home of 'Nessie', stretching along the Great Glen as you descend toward Inverness.
Moray Firth
The wide inlet of the North Sea, famous for its resident population of bottlenose dolphins.
The right side is ideal for capturing the scale of the Great Glen. During winter months, booking a midday flight ensures the best sun position to see snow-capped Highland peaks without heavy shadows.
The North Channel
Clear views of the narrow strait separating Northern Ireland from southwestern Scotland.
Mull of Kintyre
The famous headland at the southern tip of the Kintyre Peninsula, immortalized in song.
Isle of Arran
Known as 'Scotland in Miniature', featuring dramatic granite peaks and lush valleys.
Loch Lomond
Expansive views of the Trossachs National Park and one of Scotland's largest freshwater lochs.
Inverness City
A glimpse of the Highland capital and its castle as the plane maneuvers for final landing.
Sit toward the front of the aircraft to avoid the wing and engine on regional turboprops often used for this route. Morning flights provide excellent side-lighting for the mountain peaks of the Trossachs.
