Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

While both sides offer stunning views, the Right Side provides a superior perspective of the Turkish 'Turquoise Coast' upon departure and the most iconic views of the Scottish Lowlands and Glasgow city during the final descent.

Frankfurt am Main

A high-altitude view of Germany's financial hub and its cluster of modern skyscrapers.

πŸ—Ό

London & Home Counties

Depending on the airway, you may see the sprawl of Greater London and the Thames to the South.

⛰️

The Peak District

The rolling hills and moors of northern England provide a scenic transition into the Scottish border.

Glasgow Skyline

As the plane banks for landing, enjoy a panoramic view of the city center and the iconic squinty bridge.

Choose the right side for the best chance to see major European cities and the dramatic turn over the Clyde before landing. If flying in the late afternoon, the 'Golden Hour' light hitting the Scottish Highlands to the north is truly spectacular.
