Hel Peninsula
The unique 35km-long sandbar separating the Bay of Puck from the Baltic Sea is visible immediately after takeoff.
Frisian Islands
The chain of islands along the German and Dutch coasts, surrounded by the distinctive Wadden Sea mudflats.
Amsterdam & Port
Clear views of the North Sea Canal, the Port of Amsterdam, and the Dutch coastline near IJmuiden.
Old Head of Kinsale
A stunning promontory featuring a world-famous golf course and lighthouse, often passed just before touchdown.
The right side is ideal for capturing the geographic diversity of the North Sea coastline. During winter months, the low northern light provides excellent contrast for photography of the Dutch polders. Watch for the 'Old Head of Kinsale' if the flight approaches Cork Airport from the south (Runway 34).

Gdańsk & Sopot
Aerial views of the historic Old Town and the Long Market shortly after departure from GDN.
Greater London
Visibility of the Thames estuary and the sprawling London metropolitan area when cruising over Southern England.
Severn Bridges
The massive suspension bridges connecting South West England to Wales across the Severn Estuary.
Cork Harbour
One of the world's largest natural harbours, featuring Spike Island and the town of Cobh on the final descent.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during westbound afternoon flights to avoid the direct southern sun. This side is better for spotting major English landmarks and the industrial heritage of the Bristol Channel. For the best view of Cork city during landing, aim for a window seat behind the wing.
