Turkish Coastline
Aerial perspective of the Bodrum peninsula, Izmir, and the rugged western coast of Turkey.
The Danube
Aerial crossing of the massive Danube River as it snakes through the Balkan plains.
North Sea Coastline
Dramatic views of the English and Scottish eastern coastlines, including Holy Island and the Farne Islands.
Forth Bridges
Unbeatable views of the UNESCO-listed Forth Bridge and the Queensferry Crossing during the descent.
Arthur's Seat
The ancient volcano overlooking Edinburgh city, visible just before the wheels touch down.
The right side is essential for the famous 'Forth Bridge' view. Try to book a seat in front of or behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the bridges. If arriving in the late afternoon, the lighting on this side is usually perfect for photography as the sun is behind the aircraft.

Aegean Archipelago
Stunning views of Greek islands like Chios and Lesbos scattered across the deep blue sea shortly after takeoff.
Distant Alps
Panoramic views of the snow-capped Austrian and Bavarian mountain ranges to the south while over Central Europe.
Rhine River Valley
The winding path of the Rhine through Germany's industrial and vineyard regions.
The Lake District
Verdant hills and sparkling lakes of Northern England visible as the flight crosses into the UK.
Edinburgh Castle
Direct views of the historic city center and the castle if the aircraft approaches from the west via Runway 06.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun, which will be on the left (south) for much of the journey. This side is also superior for viewing the rugged interior of the UK's national parks during the descent.
