Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides an exceptional vantage point for the rugged western coastline of Jersey upon takeoff, followed by the iconic limestone formations of the Jurassic Coast in Dorset and the scenic rolling hills of the Cotswolds during the transit north.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏝️

Channel Islands Archipelago

Clear views of Guernsey, Sark, and Herm as you climb away from Jersey Airport.

🌊

Jurassic Coast

Look for the dramatic white cliffs and natural arches like Durdle Door as you cross the English Channel into Dorset.

🏛️

Bath & The Cotswolds

An expansive view of the golden-stone architecture of Bath and the lush, undulating hills of the AONB.

⛰️

Peak District Fringes

As the descent begins, the rugged moorlands and limestone dales of the southern Pennines appear to the west.

🏟️

Sheffield Cityscape

Panoramic views of the 'Steel City' and its numerous parks just before the final approach into Doncaster.

For the best visibility of the Dorset coastline, choose a mid-morning flight to avoid the southern sun glare. The approach into the South Yorkshire region often involves a wide turn, providing a great perspective of the Pennine hills during clear autumn or spring days.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏰

St. Helier & Normandy

Views of Jersey's capital and, on clear days, the distant French coastline of the Cotentin Peninsula.

⚓

The Solent & Isle of Wight

A distant but clear view of the Needles and the busy shipping lanes leading into Southampton and Portsmouth.

🎓

Oxford Spires

The distinctive skyline of Oxford University's historic colleges can be spotted in the distance over Oxfordshire.

🏙️

East Midlands Hubs

Sequential views of the urban centers of Leicester and Nottingham as the flight tracks north through the Midlands.

🌲

Sherwood Forest

The historic woodland area north of Nottingham is visible shortly before the descent into the Doncaster area.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights, as the setting sun illuminates the English countryside to the east. Look out for the distinct 'V' shape of the Isle of Wight shortly after crossing the coast; it is one of the most recognizable landmarks on this route.
