Severn Estuary
Stunning aerial views of the M4 and M48 bridges connecting England and Wales immediately after departure.
Snowdonia (Eryri)
The jagged peaks of North Wales are often visible to the west as the flight passes over the Cheshire plain.
The Lake District
Unbeatable views of the western Cumbrian fells and the deep glacial ribbons of Wastwater and Ennerdale.
Firth of Clyde
Views of the Isle of Arran and the rugged Kintyre Peninsula as you enter Scottish airspace.
Ben Nevis & Glencoe
As the plane descends, look for the UK's highest peak and the dramatic ridges of the Mamores.
For the best experience, choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Afternoon flights are ideal on this side as the sun will be behind the plane, illuminating the Scottish peaks in gold. Keep a keen eye out during the final 15 minutes for a potential glimpse of the northern end of Loch Ness.

Edinburgh & The Forth

The Cairngorms

The right side is excellent for seeing the transition from the rolling English hills to the wilder Southern Uplands of Scotland. If the wind is from the west, the approach into Inverness often circles over the Moray Firth, offering the right side great views of the coastline and Chanonry Point, famous for dolphin spotting.
