Channel Islands
Bird's-eye views of Guernsey, Herm, and Jethou shortly after departing Jersey.
The Solent
The busy shipping lane between the Isle of Wight and the UK mainland.
South Downs
Rolling green hills and chalk landscapes of the National Park in West Sussex.
Central London
Spectacular views of The Shard, Tower Bridge, and the City of London skyscrapers.
Canary Wharf
An incredibly close-up view of the financial district's towers on the final descent.
Select a seat in front of the wing for an unobstructed view of London's landmarks. Most LCY approaches occur from the west, meaning the left side faces the city center. Evening flights are particularly recommended to see the city lights reflecting off the Thames.

Sark & Alderney
Clear views of the more remote and rugged islands in the Channel archipelago.
Seven Sisters
The dramatic white chalk cliffs of the Sussex coast if the flight tracks eastward.
The O2 & Greenwich
Perfect views of the Royal Observatory and the white dome of the O2 Arena.
Thames Barrier
The silver-capped flood defense system located just east of the runway.
Dartford Crossing
The massive Queen Elizabeth II Bridge spanning the Thames Estuary.
The right side is excellent if the wind is coming from the east, as you'll pass over the Thames Estuary. Keep an eye out for the Greenwich Peninsula. During winter months, midday flights provide the best lighting to capture the white cliffs of the south coast.
