CAL → GLA
Which side of the plane to sit from Campbeltown Airport (Campbeltown) to Glasgow International Airport (Glasgow)?
Left Side of the Plane
While both sides are exceptional, the left side offers a superior view of the classic Highland landscape, including deep sea lochs like Loch Fyne and the rugged interior of the Cowal Peninsula as you approach Glasgow.

Machrihanish Bay
Stunning views of the long sandy beach and the Atlantic rollers immediately after takeoff from Campbeltown.
Loch Fyne
The longest of Scotland's sea lochs, stretching deep into the Argyll hills with clear views of the fishing villages below.
Cowal Peninsula
Densely forested ridges and hidden glens characterize this remote and beautiful stretch of the flight path.
Southern Highlands
On clear days, the distant peaks of the Arrochar Alps and Ben Lomond are visible to the north.
Clyde Estuary
A bird's-eye view of the shipping lanes, the tail of the bank at Greenock, and the historic shipyards.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. This side is particularly dramatic during morning flights when the sun illuminates the hills of Argyll. Look out for the 'Rest and Be Thankful' pass in the distance as you begin your descent toward Glasgow.

Isle of Arran
Dominating the view, you will see the jagged granite peaks of Goatfell and the 'Sleeping Warrior' mountain profile.
Holy Isle
A small, distinctive island just off Lamlash Bay, known for its spiritual history and wild Eriskay ponies.
The Cumbraes
Clear views of Great and Little Cumbrae islands, including the Victorian seaside town of Millport.
Largs Coastline
The popular seaside resort town and its marina are clearly visible as the plane crosses the mainland coast.
Renfrewshire Hills
Rolling green farmland and moorland as you make the final approach over the Muirshiel Regional Park.
The right side is unbeatable for views of Arran. Late afternoon flights provide the best lighting for the 'Sleeping Warrior' silhouette. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff, as the proximity to the Arran mountains at low altitude is a highlight of this short route.
