Midlands Green Belt
Expansive views of the lush countryside surrounding Birmingham and Solihull shortly after takeoff.
The Wash
The distinct square-shaped estuary on the East Anglian coast, visible as you leave the UK mainland.
Offshore Wind Farms
Vast clusters of white turbines arranged in geometric patterns across the North Sea surface.
West Frisian Islands
The beautiful sandy arcs of Texel and Vlieland appearing as a natural barrier against the North Sea.
Bremerhaven Port
Large-scale maritime infrastructure and car terminals visible as you enter German airspace.
Opt for the left side to witness the transition from the English countryside to the North Sea islands. Morning flights are ideal as the sun remains to the south, illuminating the coastal features without creating glare on your window. Keep an eye out for the distinct tide patterns in the Wadden Sea during low tide phases.
