GVA â LPL
Which side of the plane to sit from Geneva Cointrin International Airport (Geneva) to Liverpool John Lennon Airport (Liverpool)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a breathtaking perspective of the Alps and Mont Blanc immediately after takeoff from Geneva, followed by superior views of the English coastline and the rolling hills of the Peak District during the descent into Liverpool.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in the Alps often remains visible to the south-east during the initial climb out of Switzerland.
Paris Suburbs
On a clear day, the northern outskirts of Paris and the sprawling urban landscape are visible to the east.
South Downs
The white chalk cliffs and rolling hills of the English south coast appearing as you enter UK airspace.
London Skyline
The distant towers of the City and Canary Wharf are often visible when the flight path crosses the Midlands.
Peak District
Rugged moorlands and reservoirs of northern England visible during the descent into John Lennon Airport.
Secure a window on the right for the iconic Mont Blanc view during the first 15 minutes of flight. Afternoon travelers will enjoy the sun illuminating the English countryside. During the final approach, the right side often gets an excellent view of the Mersey Estuary and the Liverpool city skyline before touchdown.
Jura Mountains
Dramatic limestone ridges and dense forests visible immediately after departing Geneva Cointrin.
Burgundy Region
The heart of French wine country with sprawling vineyards and historic chateaus visible from high altitude.
English Channel
The crossing point between Dieppe and the UK south coast, offering views of the busy shipping lanes.
The Cotswolds
Designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with its characteristic patchworked green fields.
North Wales Border
Distant views of the Clwydian Range as the aircraft aligns for its final approach into the Mersey area.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. It offers a unique perspective of the Jura Mountains shortly after takeoff. During the landing phase at Liverpool, you might catch a glimpse of the Welsh mountains to the west if visibility is high.
