JERHUY

Which side of the plane to sit from Jersey Airport (Jersey) to Humberside Airport (Humberside)?

Our Recommendation
8.4

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior perspective of the Isle of Wight upon making landfall in England and provides a prime view of the historic Lincoln Cathedral and the Humber Estuary during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🎡

Isle of Wight

A clear view of the diamond-shaped island, the Needles, and the busy maritime traffic in the Solent.

🏙️

Distant London Skyline

On clear days, the high-rise clusters of the City of London and Canary Wharf are visible on the eastern horizon.

⛪

Lincoln Cathedral

One of Europe's finest medieval buildings, its three towers stand out prominently against the flat Lincolnshire landscape during descent.

🚢

Humber Estuary

Views of the deep-water shipping lanes and the industrial ports of Immingham and Grimsby just before landing.

Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes after departure for the Isle of Wight. This side is particularly scenic during late afternoon flights as the low sun illuminates the stone architecture of Lincoln Cathedral during the final 10 minutes of the flight.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏝️

Channel Islands Vista

Breathtaking views of Jersey's rugged northern coastline and the neighboring islands of Sark and Herm immediately after takeoff.

🏖️

Jurassic Coast

As the flight crosses the English Channel, you will see the unique geological formations and sandy bays of the Dorset coast.

🌳

The Cotswolds

Expansive views of the rolling green hills and patchwork fields of the English countryside throughout Central England.

🌉

Humber Bridge

During the final approach, the iconic suspension bridge can often be spotted spanning the river to the west.

Sit toward the front of the aircraft to ensure the wing doesn't block the view of the Channel Islands. Morning flights are ideal on this side to avoid direct sunlight and glare while looking west over the English landscape.
