Search flights from BRS to CEG
Bristol & Clifton
Glimpses of the Clifton Suspension Bridge and the Avon Gorge if the aircraft turns east upon departure.
The Malvern Hills
The iconic nine-mile volcanic ridge rising sharply from the flat Severn Valley floor.
Shrewsbury
The distinctive loop of the River Severn that almost entirely encircles the historic town center.
Chester City Center
An incredible view of the Roman city walls, the Cathedral, and the Roodee racecourse just moments before landing.
The right side is the 'money side' for this route. The final approach into Hawarden typically passes just east of Chester, providing a perfect view of the city. For the best lighting on the Malvern Hills, aim for a late afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the ridge.

Severn Bridges
Aerial perspective of the M4 and M48 bridges spanning the wide Severn Estuary shortly after departure.
Wye Valley & Forest of Dean
Dense ancient woodlands and the dramatic loops of the River Wye marking the border of England and Wales.
Black Mountains
The eastern reaches of the Brecon Beacons visible on the western horizon, offering a rugged mountain silhouette.
Wrexham
Clear views of the North Wales industrial hub and the historic Racecourse Ground as you begin the descent.
Select the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. This side is better for spotting the expansive Welsh coastline and the muddy flats of the Severn Estuary immediately after takeoff from Bristol.
