St Ouen's Bay

A massive five-mile stretch of golden sand and rolling Atlantic surf on Jersey's west coast during the descent.

Corbière Lighthouse

Spot the iconic white lighthouse perched on a rock at the southwestern tip of Jersey as the plane banks toward the runway.

St Brelade's Bay

Consistently voted one of the UK's best beaches, visible just before touchdown.

Choose the right side for the best chance to see the full archipelago of the Channel Islands. For evening flights, you may catch a spectacular sunset over the Atlantic as you approach Jersey's western shore.

As the plane turns for its final approach, look for this historic 13th-century fortress overlooking Gorey Harbour.

St Catherine's Breakwater

Sit on the left if you are taking a morning flight to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is also excellent for spotting the French mainland if the visibility is high.
