The Rhine Valley
World-famous views of the winding Rhine river, featuring steep vineyards and medieval castles.

Dublin Bay
Aerial view of Howth Head and the Dublin port area immediately after takeoff.
Liverpool & Manchester
Distant views of the major northern English cities as the plane crosses the UK.
Dutch Coastline
Depending on the wind-adjusted route, views of the intricate Dutch polders and delta works.
The Ruhr Valley
The industrial heartland of Germany, visible as you transition into German airspace.
Look out early for the Irish coastline. This side is often better for avoiding direct glare if flying in the early afternoon, making it easier to spot the distant city lights of the UK midlands.
