Bremerhaven Terminals
Aerial view of one of Europe's largest container ports at the mouth of the Weser river.
Northumberland Coast
Spot historic landmarks like Bamburgh Castle and the Holy Island of Lindisfarne along the English coast.
Bass Rock
The world-famous volcanic island in the Firth of Forth, appearing white due to its massive gannet colony.
The Forth Bridges
The ultimate highlight: the red Victorian Rail Bridge, the 1964 Road Bridge, and the modern Queensferry Crossing.
East Lothian Beaches
The golden sands of North Berwick and Gullane as the plane follows the coastline into the estuary.
For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing on the right. When the aircraft approaches Edinburgh from the east (standard for Runway 24), this side offers a spectacular panoramic view of the three bridges and the city of Edinburgh itself. Late afternoon flights provide excellent lighting for coastal photography.

Bremen Skyline
Clear views of the Weser Stadium and the historic city center immediately after departure from BRE.
North Pennines
Distal views of the expansive English moorlands and high grounds as the flight crosses from the North Sea.
Southern Uplands
The rolling green hills and remote valleys of the Scottish Borders during the initial descent phase.
Pentland Hills
A close-up look at the regional park south of Edinburgh, featuring reservoirs and steep grassy peaks.
The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It offers a better view of the inland Scottish countryside and the hills surrounding the city. In winter, look for snow on the Southern Uplands.
