Our Recommendation

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers spectacular views of the Atlantic coastline, the rugged cliffs of Portugal, the mountainous terrain of Northwest Spain, and the stunning scenery of the Welsh coast and Snowdonia upon arrival in the UK.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Vast Atlantic Expanse

Deep blue views of the Atlantic Ocean as you leave the Canary Islands and head north towards Europe.

πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Ή

Portuguese Coastline

A long, scenic view of Portugal's western edge, including the cliffs of NazarΓ© and the beaches of the Silver Coast.

⛰️

Galician Cliffs

The dramatic, green, and jagged coastline of Northwest Spain, specifically the RΓ­as Baixas and the lighthouse at Finisterre.

πŸ”οΈ

Snowdonia National Park

Dramatic aerial views of the highest mountains in Wales as the flight path crosses the Irish Sea and heads into North Wales.

🐚

The Wirral Peninsula

Clearly defined views of the coastline between the River Dee and the River Mersey just moments before touchdown.

Sit on the left for the best chance of seeing the transition from the arid Canary Islands to the lush green of Wales. If you are flying during the day, the afternoon sun will be behind the plane or to the west, providing excellent lighting for photos of the Iberian coast. On approach to LPL, keep an eye out for the distinctive Red Rocks at Hoylake.

Right Side Highlights

πŸŒ‹

Lanzarote

Immediately after takeoff, you get a stunning bird's-eye view of Fuerteventura's neighbor, the volcanic 'Mars-like' island of Lanzarote.

🏒

Lisbon Metro Area

Distant but clear views of the Tagus River and the expansive urban sprawl of Lisbon and its surroundings.

🏰

Spanish Hinterland

Views of the rolling hills and historical settlements of the Spanish interior as the route skirts the border.

πŸŒ‰

Severn Estuary

As you enter UK airspace, look out for the massive bridges connecting England and South Wales.

πŸ—οΈ

Liverpool City Center

If landing on Runway 27, you'll see the iconic Liver Building and the rejuvenated docks as the plane turns for its final approach.

The right side is unbeatable for the first 10 minutes of flight to see the Timanfaya National Park on Lanzarote. For the arrival into Liverpool, the right side is preferred if the wind is coming from the West (Runway 27 approach), as you will fly parallel to the city center, offering views of the cathedrals and skyscrapers.
