The Pyrenees
Breathtaking views of the rugged mountain range separating Spain and France shortly after departure.
Bay of Biscay
Dramatic views of the French coastline as the flight path skirts the western edge of France.
Nantes & Loire Estuary
The point where the grand Loire River meets the Atlantic Ocean amidst a patchwork of salt marshes.
Brittany Peninsula
The jagged, rocky coastline of northwest France with its numerous lighthouses and hidden coves.
Severn Estuary
The massive bridges connecting England and Wales, visible as the flight enters UK airspace.
Sit on the left for the best morning light during northern flights, avoiding direct glare. Keep your camera ready within the first 10 minutes of takeoff for the Pyrenees. As you approach Newcastle, the left side often provides a clearer view of the Lake District mountains in the distance if the flight path is slightly inland.
