Our Recommendation

Left Side of the Plane

The Left Side provides a superior viewing experience, offering a front-row seat to the dramatic transition from the European mainland to the English Channel, followed by the stunning white and red cliffs of the UK's southern coastline.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Zeeland Delta

View the complex network of islands and massive storm surge barriers along the Dutch coast.

🚢

Dover Strait

Observe the world's busiest shipping lanes as you cross the narrowest part of the English Channel.

🏝️

Isle of Wight

A perfect bird's-eye view of the diamond-shaped island, the Solent, and the iconic Needles rocks.

🦖

Jurassic Coast

Look for the striking contrast of white chalk and red sandstone cliffs along the Dorset and East Devon coast.

🏖️

Exmouth Coastline

The beautiful sandy beaches and the entrance to the Exe Estuary visible during the final descent.

For the most scenic experience, book a window seat behind the wing to keep the view clear. During the final 20 minutes of the flight, watch closely for the Isle of Wight and the UNESCO World Heritage Jurassic Coast. Westward afternoon flights provide the best lighting for the southern coastline's geographic features.

Right Side Highlights
7.6
🏭

Rhine-Ruhr Valley

The industrial heartland of Germany featuring the winding Rhine river and major urban centers like Duisburg.

⚓

Port of Rotterdam

Spot one of the world's largest maritime hubs with its extensive container terminals and infrastructure.

🏙️

London Skyline

On clear days, the distant skyscrapers of the City and Canary Wharf are visible to the north.

🌲

North Wessex Downs

Rolling green hills and ancient chalk downland characteristic of the English countryside.

⛵

Exe Estuary

Stunning tidal patterns and bird sanctuaries visible just before touching down at Exeter Airport.

Watch the right side immediately after takeoff to see the industrial landscape of the Ruhr region. If the flight path tracks south of London, you can often spot the capital's urban sprawl on the horizon. During the final approach, the right side offers excellent views of the rural Devon landscape and the winding Exe river.
