Sudetes Mountains
Views of the rugged peaks along the Czech-Polish border shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
Frisian Islands
The unique arc of the Wadden Sea islands along the Dutch and German North Sea coasts.
The Peak District
Rolling hills and moorlands of England's first national park as the flight enters the North West.
Manchester Landmarks
On a clear day, spot the city of Manchester and its major football stadiums during the initial descent.
Liverpool Waterfront
Unrivaled views of the Pier Head, the 'Three Graces,' and Anfield Stadium just before touchdown.
The right side is the 'money side' for this route. Request a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. The descent is the highlight; as the plane turns toward the Mersey, you'll get a perfect aerial tour of Liverpool's urban core and the iconic waterfront. In winter, keep an eye out for snow-capped peaks in the Sudetes.
