Snowdonia National Park
Spectacular views of North Wales' highest peaks, including Snowdon, rising above the southern horizon.
Liverpool & Mersey
A clear look at the Albert Dock, the 'Three Graces,' and the winding River Mersey as you cross the coastline.
Manchester Cityscape
Dense urban views including major football stadiums and the evolving skyline of Manchester's city center.
Peak District
Dramatic moorlands and rocky plateaus of the Dark Peak area just before turning toward the airport.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset reflecting off the Irish Sea. Look for the offshore wind farms near the Welsh coast which create a geometric pattern on the water. On descent, keep an eye out for the distinct reservoirs that dot the Pennines.

Howth Head
Aerial view of the rugged Dublin peninsula and the Baily Lighthouse immediately after takeoff.
Isle of Man
On clear days, the distant silhouette of Snaefell mountain is visible to the north across the Irish Sea.
Blackpool Coastline
The iconic Blackpool Tower and the sprawling Pleasure Beach are often visible as you approach the English coast.
Yorkshire Dales
Lush green valleys and limestone scars of the southern Dales appearing during the final descent into LBA.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the sun's glare over the sea. Watch for the distinctive shape of the Lake District mountains far to the north during mid-flight. Best visibility is usually found in the late spring when the air is crisp and the Dales are vibrant green.
