Scottish Borders
Rolling green hills and the winding River Tweed visible shortly after departure from Edinburgh.
The Lake District
Aerial views of England's most famous national park, featuring glacial ribbon lakes and rugged fells.
Brittany Peninsula
The jagged cliffs and sandy coves of Northwest France as the flight crosses towards the Bay of Biscay.
Lisbon Coastline
Views of the Tagus River estuary and the 25 de Abril Bridge if the flight path follows the Portuguese coast.
Timanfaya National Park
Unparalleled views of Lanzarote's dramatic volcanic craters and lava fields during the final descent.
The left side is optimal for morning flights as it stays in the shade, reducing glare for photography. The absolute highlight is the approach; planes typically fly south past Lanzarote, giving those on the left a perfect view of the 'Martian' landscape of the neighboring island before landing.
