Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏝️

Ionian Sea Islands

Breathtaking views of the turquoise waters surrounding Corfu and the smaller islands of Paxos and Antipaxos shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

The Western Alps

Unrivaled views of the highest peaks in Europe, often passing near the snow-capped massif of Mont Blanc on the French-Italian border.

🏰

Loire Valley

Look down over central France to spot the winding rivers and historic chateaus dotting the lush landscape.

🌊

Irish Sea & Wales

Clear views of the Welsh coastline and the rugged peaks of Snowdonia National Park as you head north.

⛰️

Ailsa Craig

The iconic volcanic plug in the Firth of Clyde is a highlight during the final descent into Prestwick.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Alps' highest summits. On the approach to PIK, this side is essential for seeing the dramatic islands of the Clyde. For morning flights, this side avoids the harshest glare from the sun.

Right Side Highlights
7.9
⛰️

Albanian Alps

Rugged, limestone peaks of the Balkan interior are visible to the east immediately after departure.

🛶

Venetian Lagoon

On a clear day, the distinctive shape of Venice and its surrounding islands can be spotted across the Adriatic.

🍇

Champagne Region

The rolling hills and structured vineyards of northern France provide a beautiful patchwork quilt effect.

🎡

London & The Midlands

Aerial views of the UK's sprawling urban centers and the green heart of middle England.

🏞️

The Lake District

A stunning view of England's largest national park, featuring deep glacial ribbon lakes and craggy fell mountains.

The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the 'golden hour' glow over the English countryside. It offers a better perspective of the Balkan coastline during the initial climb and the English Lake District during the descent.
