Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Moray Firth

Immediate views after takeoff of the inner firth and the Kessock Bridge connecting to the Black Isle.

🏞️

Loch Lomond & Trossachs

Dramatic vistas of Scotland's most famous lochs and the transition from Highlands to Lowlands.

🏔️

Lake District National Park

Unrivaled views of Windermere, Ullswater, and Scafell Pike as the flight traverses Cumbria.

🎡

Blackpool & Irish Sea

Spot the Blackpool Tower and the sprawling sandy coastline of the Fylde Peninsula.

🏙️

Birmingham City Center

Final approach often provides a sweeping view of the Bullring and Birmingham's evolving skyline.

For the best photography of the Lake District, book an afternoon flight to have the sun behind you. Ensure your window is clean, as the descent into BHX often features low-altitude turns over the Midlands.

⛰️

Cairngorms National Park

Aerial views of the UK's largest national park with its vast granite plateaus and arctic-alpine wilderness.

🌉

Firth of Forth

On clear days, look east to spot the iconic Three Bridges spanning the water near Edinburgh.

🏔️

The Pennines

Known as the backbone of England, featuring rolling hills and deep valleys of the Yorkshire Dales.

🌆

Manchester & Sheffield

Dense urban landscapes and skyscrapers of Northern England's major metropolitan hubs.

Sit toward the front to avoid engine glare when viewing the Cairngorms. Morning flights offer excellent lighting on the eastern slopes of the Scottish Highlands.
