DSA β JER
Which side of the plane to sit from Robin Hood Doncaster Sheffield Airport (Doncaster, Sheffield) to Jersey Airport (Jersey)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the diverse English landscape, the dramatic Severn Estuary, and a breathtaking aerial introduction to the Channel Islands chain before landing.
Peak District
The rugged moorlands and limestone dales of England's first national park are visible to the west shortly after takeoff.
West Midlands
The dense urban expanse of Birmingham and the Black Country provides a stark contrast to the rural segments.
Severn Estuary
The massive tidal range and the bridges connecting England and Wales are clear landmarks as you head south.
Jurassic Coast
The stunning UNESCO World Heritage coastline of Dorset, featuring iconic white cliffs and sandy bays.
Channel Islands Chain
Excellent views of Alderney, Sark, and Guernsey as the aircraft begins its descent into Jersey.
The right side is ideal for spotting the other Channel Islands during the descent. For the best photography, afternoon flights provide excellent lighting on the Dorset coast and the islands. Watch for the Corbière Lighthouse on the southwest tip of Jersey during the final approach into Runway 08.
Sherwood Forest
Ancient woodlands of Nottinghamshire visible shortly after departing the South Yorkshire area.
Oxford Spires
The historic university city and its iconic architecture can often be spotted in the distance over the Thames Valley.
The Solent
A bustling maritime corridor between the mainland and the Isle of Wight, filled with yachts and ferries.
English Channel
The vast expanse of the world's busiest shipping lane during the mid-flight cruise.
Mont Orgueil
The medieval castle on Jersey's east coast may be visible if the aircraft performs a circling approach to Runway 26.
Choose this side if you want to see the Isle of Wight and the busy shipping lanes of the Solent. On a clear day, you might also catch a glimpse of the French coastline in the distance as you approach Jersey. Early morning flights on this side avoid direct sun glare.
