Firth of Clyde
Stunning views of the Ayrshire coast and the Isle of Arran immediately after takeoff from GLA.
North West England
Views over the Irish Sea, the Blackpool Tower, and the industrial landscape of the Liverpool Bay.
French Atlantic Coast
Spectacular vistas of the Bay of Biscay, the Gironde estuary, and the sandy beaches of Aquitaine.
Bordeaux Region
Fly over the world-famous vineyards and the winding Garonne river in southwestern France.
Es Vedrà
The legendary and mystical limestone rock formation rising from the sea off Ibiza's southwest coast.
The right side is perfect for afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Atlantic and Mediterranean. As you approach Ibiza, the pilot often performs a banking turn that provides a world-class view of Es Vedrà and the hidden coves of the island's western shore. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing.

Glasgow & Central Belt
Aerial views of Glasgow's urban sprawl and the rolling Southern Uplands shortly after departure.
The Pennines
Looking east across the rugged 'backbone of England' as the flight progresses south toward the Midlands.
Inland France
A perspective of the French countryside and occasionally distant views of the outskirts of Paris.
Eastern Pyrenees
The snow-capped peaks of the eastern mountain range dividing France and Spain.
Dalt Vila
Views of Ibiza's historic Old Town and the harbor if the aircraft approaches from the east.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. This side is ideal for spotting the Isle of Wight while crossing the English Channel and for seeing the sunrise over the Mediterranean if on a very early departure. During descent, look for the salt pans (Ses Salines) just before touchdown.
