Isle of Arran
Spectacular views of the 'Scotland in Miniature' mountains as you exit the Firth of Clyde.
Ailsa Craig
The iconic and isolated volcanic plug sitting prominently in the sea south of Arran.
Isle of Man
A complete aerial view of the island, including Snaefell mountain, while crossing the Irish Sea.
Anglesey
The westernmost tip of North Wales, featuring the rugged cliffs and lighthouse of Holyhead.
St. Ouen's Bay
The expansive sandy stretch of Jersey's west coast is often the first thing you see on final descent.
The right side is the best choice for coastal and island spotting. Watch for the distinct shape of Ailsa Craig early in the flight. Afternoon flights offer beautiful lighting over the Atlantic Ocean, and you will likely see the surf break along Jersey's western shore just before touchdown.

Glasgow Skyline
Aerial views of the River Clyde and the city center immediately after takeoff from Glasgow.
Lake District
Distant but visible views of the Cumbrian fells and the Solway Firth to the east.
Snowdonia Peaks
The dramatic mountain ranges of North Wales are visible across the Irish Sea during the cruise phase.
Bristol Channel
A wide crossing over the estuary separating the Welsh coast from the English West Country.
St. Helier
Views of Jersey's capital and the island's southern coastline during the final approach pattern.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the sun's glare. It provides a better perspective of the English and Welsh mainland throughout the journey. During descent, if the aircraft circles the island, you may get a clear view of the historic Elizabeth Castle.
