IOM → LPL
Which side of the plane to sit from Isle of Man Airport (Isle Of Man) to Liverpool John Lennon Airport (Liverpool)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the iconic Liverpool skyline, the historic docks, and the sweeping Lancashire coastline during the final descent.
Douglas Bay
Aerial view of the Isle of Man's capital city and its crescent-shaped harbor shortly after takeoff.
Blackpool Shoreline
Visible across the water, you can often spot the Blackpool Tower and the lights of the Golden Mile.
Port of Liverpool
A close-up look at the massive Seaforth Dock container terminal and the cruise ship terminal.
Liverpool Waterfront
Perfect views of the Royal Liver Building, the Three Graces, and the Albert Dock as the plane aligns for the runway.
Anfield & Goodison Park
The home stadiums of Liverpool FC and Everton FC are frequently visible to the north of the city center.
Sit toward the front to avoid the wing obstructing the view of the Liverpool city center. On evening flights, the sunset over the Irish Sea creates a stunning backdrop for the city lights. This side is essential for photographers wanting the 'money shot' of the Liver Building.
Langness Peninsula
The narrow rocky outcrop and lighthouse at the southern tip of the Isle of Man immediately after departure.
Snowdonia Peaks
On clear days, the distant mountains of North Wales and the Great Orme are visible to the south.
The Wirral
Views of West Kirby, the Hilbre Islands, and the sprawling beaches of the Wirral Peninsula.
Runcorn Bridges
The Silver Jubilee and Mersey Gateway bridges spanning the river are prominent landmarks on the final approach.
Gas Platforms
Offshore drilling rigs and wind farms scattered across the Irish Sea segment of the flight.
Choose this side if you prefer natural landscapes over urban skylines. You will get a better view of the Mersey Estuary's unique geography and the industrial heritage of the Runcorn area. Morning flights offer the best lighting for seeing the Welsh coastline.
