Which side of the plane to sit from Inverness Airport (Inverness) to Bristol Airport (Bristol)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the UK's most dramatic natural landscapes, including the rugged peaks of the Scottish Highlands, the stunning Cumbrian fells of the Lake District, and the impressive Severn Estuary architecture.
The Great Glen
The massive geological fault line and Loch Ness are often visible immediately after takeoff from Inverness.
Grampian Mountains
Look for Ben Nevis, the UK's highest peak, standing out among the dramatic Scottish Highlands.
The Lake District
Spectacular views of Lake Windermere and the surrounding fells, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Morecambe Bay
The vast tidal mudflats and sands of the Lancashire coast provide unique patterns from above.
Severn Bridges
The two massive suspension bridges connecting England and Wales are the highlight of the final approach into Bristol.
Opt for an afternoon flight to see the sun lighting up the Cumbrian mountains. During the winter, the snow-capped peaks of the Highlands and Lake District are particularly breathtaking. Keep a close watch roughly 10 minutes before landing for the Severn Estuary crossing.
Moray Firth
Aerial views of the deep blue waters and Chanonry Point, famous for its resident dolphin population.
Firth of Forth
Clear views of the iconic Forth Bridges and the historic skyline of Edinburgh as you pass the Central Belt.
Northumberland Coast
Spot the historic Bamburgh Castle and the Holy Island of Lindisfarne along the rugged eastern coastline.
The Peak District
Vast stretches of moorland and gritstone edges visible as the flight traverses Northern England.
The Cotswolds
Rolling limestone hills and quintessential English villages during the descent into the West Country.
Sit on the left for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise reflecting off the North Sea. Ensure you are seated forward of the wing to get an unobstructed view of the Forth Bridges roughly 20 minutes after departure.
