English Channel
Panoramic views of the busy shipping lanes and the distant coastline of Normandy, France.
Isle of Wight
The distinct diamond shape of the island and the famous white chalk stacks known as The Needles.
Jurassic Coast
The UNESCO World Heritage site featuring dramatic red and white cliffs stretching across Dorset and Devon.
St Michael's Mount
A glimpse of the tidal island and medieval castle off the coast of Marazion in Cornwall.
Land's End
The southwesternmost point of the English mainland, where the Atlantic meets the Channel.
For the best visibility, choose a seat behind the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Afternoon flights on this side may experience sun glare, so bring sunglasses. The most dramatic views occur roughly 30-45 minutes into the flight as you track parallel to the southern English coast. Look for the turquoise water patterns near the shoreline during summer months.

Brussels View
A great perspective of the Atomium and the Brussels skyline immediately after takeoff from Zaventem.
Greater London
Distance views of the Thames Estuary and the sprawling outskirts of the UK capital.

The massive suspension bridges connecting South West England to the valleys of South Wales.
Brecon Beacons
The rolling green peaks and national park scenery of Southern Wales.
Celtic Sea Approach
The first sighting of the lush, green Irish coastline near Waterford as the plane begins its descent.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. This side offers better views of the South Wales coastline and the Bristol Channel. During the final approach into Cork, you may see the winding River Lee and the rural landscape of County Cork. Keep an eye out for the Severn Estuary's high tidal range, which creates unique mudflat patterns visible from altitude.
