The Ruhr Metropolis
A massive urban carpet of cities including Essen and Duisburg, showcasing Germany's industrial heartland.

The enormous reclaimed inland sea and the historic polders of the Netherlands are clearly visible.
Northumbrian Coast

The Trossachs
The dramatic 'Gateway to the Highlands' appears as the plane descends, featuring dense forests and jagged peaks.
Loch Lomond
Stunning views of the 'Queen of Scottish Lochs' and its many islands, often visible just minutes before touchdown.
For the most dramatic experience, book an evening flight to see the sunset reflecting off the Scottish lochs. The right side is particularly famous for the view of Ben Lomond and the Highland boundary fault line during the standard arrival patterns into GLA. Keep your camera ready as soon as the descent through 10,000 feet begins.
