Frankfurt Skyline
A direct view of the financial district skyscrapers and the Main River during climb-out.
Brussels View
Distant urban panoramas of the Belgian capital and the surrounding lowlands.
Dunkirk Harbour
The industrial ports and beaches of northern France before crossing the sea.
Greater London
A wide-angle view of the London skyline, including the Shard, to the north of the flight path.
Severn Bridges
The spectacular M4 and M48 bridges crossing the Severn Estuary during the final descent.
The right side is ideal for photographers; the descent into Bristol over the Severn Estuary is a significant highlight. Afternoon or evening flights are best on this side to catch the golden hour over the English coast and bridges without the sun shining directly into your window.
