Our Recommendation
8.5

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.

Right Side Highlights

Peak District

The rugged moorlands and limestone dales of England's first national park are visible to the west shortly after takeoff.

πŸ™οΈ

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.

πŸ–οΈ

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.

Mont Orgueil
