Our Recommendation
8.4

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior sequence of coastal landmarks, including the French Brittany coast, the tip of Cornwall, the Welsh mountains, and the Isle of Man before the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🏖️

Lanzarote East Coast

Bird's-eye views of Arrecife and the popular resort towns along the eastern shores of Lanzarote.

🇫🇷

Brittany Peninsula

The rugged western tip of France is often visible when crossing from the Bay of Biscay toward the UK.

📍

Land's End

Aerial perspective of the iconic southwestern tip of England and the turquoise waters of the Cornish coast.

🏔️

Snowdonia National Park

The high peaks of North Wales, including Snowdon, can be seen when tracking through the Irish Sea corridor.

🇮🇲

Isle of Man

A clear view of the entire island and its central mountain, Snaefell, situated in the middle of the Irish Sea.

⛳

Ayrshire Coastline

Detailed views of famous golf courses like Royal Troon and the town of Ayr just moments before touchdown.

The right side is best for land-spotting enthusiasts. It provides the best opportunities to see the French coast and the varied geography of the British Isles. For evening flights, you will experience a beautiful sunset over the Irish Sea. Use a flight tracker to see if the plane will pass directly over Cornwall or Wales for the best photo timing.

Left Side Highlights
7.6
🌋

Timanfaya National Park

Dramatic views of Lanzarote's volcanic craters and lunar-like landscapes shortly after takeoff.

🌊

Atlantic Horizon

Uninterrupted vistas of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean and complex cloud formations.

⛰️

Isle of Arran

Known as 'Scotland in Miniature', the island's jagged peaks are a highlight during the descent into PIK.

🏰

Culzean Castle

Spot the historic clifftop castle on the Ayrshire coast as the plane aligns for its final approach.

Choose the left side for the most dramatic volcanic views immediately after departure from Fuerteventura. For morning flights, this side remains in the shade, providing excellent conditions for photography without glare. Keep an eye out for the Skellig Islands if the flight path tracks slightly more to the west near Ireland.
