Dublin Coastline
Excellent views of Dun Laoghaire harbor and the South Dublin suburbs upon departure.
Eryri National Park
The majestic peaks of North Wales, including Snowdon, are often visible across the sea.
Liverpool Waterfront
Get a clear view of the 'Three Graces' and the docks as you fly over the Mersey.
Manchester Cityscape
Spot major landmarks like Old Trafford or the city skyscrapers during the final descent.
This is the preferred side for sightseeing. For the best lighting on the Welsh mountains and Liverpool, book a morning flight. Try to secure a seat in the front or rear of the cabin to prevent the wing from blocking the Mersey estuary views.

Irish Sea
A wide-angle view of the shipping lanes between Ireland and Great Britain.
The Fylde Coast
Look north for the silhouette of Blackpool Tower on the horizon during the crossing.
Northern Pennines
Rugged moorland views as the plane approaches the Greater Manchester area from the north.
Sit on the left if you are flying in the late afternoon to avoid the direct sun. It offers a quieter, more sea-focused view before the urban approach into Manchester.
