Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a spectacular vantage point for the French Atlantic coast and the dramatic landscape of the Welsh mountains during the final stages of the flight.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
πŸ”οΈ

Pyrenees Horizon

In the initial climb, look south to see the snow-capped Pyrenees mountains bordering Spain.

🏝️

Île de Ré

The distinctive L-shaped island and the long bridge connecting it to La Rochelle are clear landmarks on the French coast.

🌊

Brittany Coastline

The rugged cliffs and turquoise waters of western Brittany provide a beautiful coastal transition.

πŸ–οΈ

Pembrokeshire Coast

As you enter UK airspace, the dramatic cliffs and sandy bays of southwest Wales come into view.

⛰️

Snowdonia (Eryri)

The highest peaks in Wales, including Snowdon, offer the most dramatic mountain scenery of the route.

πŸŒ‰

Menai Strait

The narrow tidal channel separating the Isle of Anglesey from the Welsh mainland is visible before the final descent.

Sitting on the left offers the best balance of coastal and mountain views. For morning flights, this side benefits from front-lit landscapes in Wales. In winter, keep an eye out for snow cover on the Welsh peaks which makes them exceptionally photogenic.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
πŸ›Ά

Dordogne Valley

The winding loops of the Dordogne river and its limestone valleys are visible as the flight heads north.

🏰

Loire Valley Chateaux

The 'Garden of France' reveals its grand historical estates and the broad Loire riverbed.

🚒

Seine Estuary

The industrial ports of Le Havre and the striking Pont de Normandie bridge crossing the Seine.

🚜

English Midlands

A patchwork of green fields, historic towns, and industrial clusters as the flight traverses central England.

🏞️

Peak District

The rolling hills and dark moorlands of the UK's first national park are visible to the east during descent.

🏒

Liverpool Waterfront

On the final approach to runway 27, the right side often catches a glimpse of the Liver Building and the city docks.

The right side is ideal for spotting architectural landmarks and the historic Liverpool skyline during landing. On evening flights, the sun will be behind the aircraft, providing soft, warm lighting for viewing the French countryside without glare.
