Glittering views of Lake Garda or Lake Como as you cross Northern Italy toward the mountains.

🏔️

The High Alps

Spectacular flyover of the Swiss-French Alps, often providing views of Mont Blanc's snow-capped summit.

🏰

Loire Valley

Glimpses of the winding Loire River and the dense forests of central France.

🌊

The English Channel

Aerial crossing from Normandy toward the Dorset coast, marking the entry into British airspace.

🌳

Mendip Hills

The final descent offers lush views of the Somerset countryside and Cheddar Gorge.

Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is prime for Alpine photography; keep your camera ready about 60-80 minutes after takeoff from CFU. During the descent into BRS, look for the distinctive limestone cliffs of the Mendips.

🌉

Severn Bridges

South Wales Coast

Panoramic views across the Bristol Channel toward Newport and the Welsh mountains.

The right side is excellent for seeing the Bristol Channel and the Severn Bridges during the landing sequence, especially if landing on Runway 27. If the flight path takes a more easterly route, you might spot the London skyline in the far distance to the north.
