Cotswolds & Oxford
Rolling green hills and the historic 'dreaming spires' of Oxford visible shortly after takeoff from Bristol.
Greater London
A sweeping view of the northern suburbs and the massive urban expanse of the UK capital.
Dutch Delta Works
The complex system of dams, sluices, and dikes along the southwestern coast of the Netherlands.
North Sea Wind Farms
Massive offshore renewable energy arrays appearing like white dots on the blue water.
Berlin City Center
On a standard northern approach, you get a clear view of the TV Tower (Fernsehturm) and the Reichstag.
For the best photography, choose a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the Dutch coast and the Berlin skyline perfectly.
