Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers spectacular views of the English South Coast, including the Isle of Wight, followed by the dramatic cliffs and historic beaches of the Normandy coastline in France.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏎️

Donington Park

Immediate views of the famous racing circuit located right next to East Midlands Airport.

🏝️

Isle of Wight

The distinctive diamond shape of the island and the white chalk stacks of The Needles.

🏖️

Normandy Coastline

Dramatic views of the Alabaster Coast cliffs and the historic D-Day landing beaches near Le Havre.

🍷

Loire River Vineyards

Views of the sprawling vineyards and the river valley as the aircraft crosses central France.

⛰️

Massif Central Foothills

The beginning of the rugged terrain and granite plateaus of the French Massif Central mountains.

The right side is best for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Atlantic and the English Channel. Look out for the Solent between the mainland and the Isle of Wight, which is particularly beautiful at high tide. Ensure you are seated ahead of or behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the Normandy cliffs.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Leicester Cityscape

Clear views of the East Midlands urban sprawl and the King Power Stadium shortly after takeoff.

🌳

The South Downs

Rolling green hills and chalk grasslands of the Sussex countryside before reaching the coast.

🛳️

English Channel Shipping

A bird's-eye view of one of the world's busiest shipping lanes with numerous cargo vessels.

🏰

Loire Valley Chateaux

Distant glimpses of grand French estates and the meandering Loire River near Orléans.

🍃

Limousin National Park

The lush, wooded landscapes of the Périgord-Limousin region during the final descent.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. This side is ideal for spotting the dense woodland of the French countryside and distant views of the Paris basin if the flight path tracks slightly eastward.
