Holguin Coastline
Stunning views of the turquoise Bahía de Nipe and the coral reefs of northern Cuba shortly after takeoff.
South Irish Coast
On a clear day, view the emerald green fields and jagged cliffs of County Cork and Waterford.
Snowdonia National Park
Breathtaking aerial perspective of the highest peaks in Wales as the flight crosses the Irish Sea.
Menai Strait
The narrow stretch of water separating the island of Anglesey from mainland Wales.
Liverpool Skyline
Panoramic views of the Mersey Estuary and the historic Liverpool waterfront during the final approach.
Since this is a West-to-East transatlantic flight, it is usually overnight. Choose the left side to witness a spectacular sunrise over the North Atlantic. For the best views of Wales, ensure you are awake at least 45 minutes before landing at MAN. Use a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze when photographing the Welsh mountains.

The right side is ideal for passengers who prefer a darker cabin for sleeping during the long Atlantic crossing, as it faces away from the direct morning sun.
