Thames Estuary
The massive scale of London's shipping lanes and the industrial landscape of the Essex coast.
Humber Bridge
The distinct silhouette of this massive suspension bridge crossing the Humber near Hull.
York Minster
The massive Gothic towers of the cathedral are clearly visible as the flight passes over Yorkshire.
Durham Cathedral
A stunning UNESCO World Heritage site situated on a dramatic river loop during the descent.
The River Tyne
Views of the iconic Gateshead Millennium Bridge and Tyne Bridge if landing on Runway 25.
The right side is essential for the approach into Newcastle. Request a window seat away from the wing to see Durham's historic architecture. During winter, sunset views over the North Sea coast are particularly vibrant. Check the wind direction; a westerly wind means a landing over the city, providing the best views of the Quayside.
