Rugged, peat-covered peaks visible to the south as the aircraft climbs out of the Dublin basin.
Snowdonia National Park
Spectacular views of the highest mountains in Wales, including the summit of Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa).
The Midlands
A sprawling view of England's industrial heartland, including the dense urban clusters of Birmingham.
Thames Estuary
The meeting point of the River Thames and the North Sea, featuring massive shipping channels and sandbanks.
Southend Pier
A perfect view of the world's longest pleasure pier stretching 1.3 miles into the estuary on final approach.
The right side is significantly better for afternoon flights, capturing the 'golden hour' light over the Welsh mountains. During the approach to Southend, the plane often banks over the Thames, giving passengers on this side an iconic view of the pier and the seafront.
