JER → GCI
Which side of the plane to sit from Jersey Airport (Jersey) to Guernsey Airport (Guernsey)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the northern Jersey coastline and provides the most direct views of the smaller islands like Sark, Brecqhou, and Herm during the short transit.
Search flights from JER to GCI
Jersey North Coast
Rugged, steep cliffs and hidden coves like Plemont Point as the flight heads northwest.
Island of Sark
A stunning view of the plateau island, including the famous 'Coupee' isthmus and the private island of Brecqhou.
Herm and Jethou
The crystal-clear turquoise waters of Shell Beach on Herm are often visible to the north on a clear day.
St Peter Port
If the aircraft circles for a western approach, you will see the capital's harbor and the historic Castle Cornet.
This side is highly recommended for photographers. Keep your camera ready from the moment of takeoff, as the flight duration is only about 15 minutes. Look for the 'Gully' between Sark and Brecqhou mid-flight; it is one of the most unique geographic features in the Channel Islands.

St Ouen’s Bay
The expansive five-mile stretch of Jersey's western coastline, famous for its surf and sand dunes.
Corbière Lighthouse
The iconic white lighthouse perched on a rock at the southwestern tip of Jersey, visible shortly after takeoff.
Guernsey Southern Cliffs
Dramatic, jagged granite cliffs rising from the sea as the plane approaches the Guernsey airport.
Sit toward the front of the aircraft to avoid engine glare and wing obstruction on the small turboprops usually used for this route. Afternoon flights are ideal for the left side as the sun moves west, illuminating the Jersey shoreline without causing harsh glare on the windows.
