FNI → LPL
Which side of the plane to sit from Nîmes-Arles-Camargue Airport (Nimes) to Liverpool John Lennon Airport (Liverpool)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the volcanic peaks of the Massif Central, the rugged coastline of North Wales, and a prime angle of the Liverpool waterfront and docks upon approach.
Chaine des Puys
View the dramatic row of dormant volcanoes and the iconic Puy de Dôme in the Massif Central region.
Loire Valley
Spot the winding Loire River and the dense forests of the Sologne region as you head north.
English Channel
Aerial views of the western Channel and the approach to the southern English coastline.
Snowdonia National Park
Magnificent views of the Welsh mountains and the peaks of Eryri during the descent phase.
Liverpool Waterfront
As the plane banks for landing at LPL, you get a clear view of the Royal Albert Dock and the Three Graces.
Sit on the left for the best view of the Welsh mountains. During an afternoon flight, the sun will be behind you as you fly north, providing excellent lighting for photography of the French interior and the Mersey estuary.
Rhône Valley Edge
Glimpses of the eastern Massif Central and the fringes of the famous wine-producing regions.
Normandy Coast
Identify the historic beaches of Normandy and the mouth of the Seine as you exit French airspace.
The Solent
Catch views of the Isle of Wight and the busy shipping lanes of the English south coast.
The Cotswolds
Fly over the quintessential English countryside characterized by rolling green hills and honey-colored stone villages.
Runcorn Bridges
On final approach, see the Silver Jubilee and Mersey Gateway bridges crossing the river.
The right side is ideal for spotting the Isle of Wight and the southern English coastline. If the flight path takes a more easterly route, you might catch a distant glimpse of the London skyline and the sprawling Midlands.
