Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panorama of the Jersey coastline upon departure and the iconic Liverpool skyline with its historic docks on the final approach into John Lennon Airport.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🇯🇪

Jersey Island

A full aerial view of the island's interior and northern cliffs as the aircraft climbs and turns north toward the mainland.

🦖

Jurassic Coast

As you reach the English coast, look down for the distinct white cliffs and geological formations of Dorset and East Devon.

🌉

Severn Estuary

Aerial perspective of the Severn Bridges and the massive tidal range where England and Wales meet.

🏗️

Liverpool Skyline

The best view of the 'Three Graces', the Royal Albert Dock, and the Liverpool Cathedral as you descend over the River Mersey.

⚽

Anfield & Goodison Park

Depending on the specific flight path, the city's two famous football stadiums are often clearly visible to the right of the city center.

The right side is essential for the iconic 'arrival' experience. To see the Liverpool waterfront clearly, choose a seat here. On a morning flight, the sun will be behind you, providing crisp, clear views of the Shropshire Hills and the Cheshire Plain. Keep your camera ready as the plane descends over the Mersey for the most photogenic urban views.

🌊

St Ouen's Bay

A sweeping view of Jersey's longest beach and the rugged Atlantic coastline immediately after takeoff.

🏖️

Gower Peninsula

Visible as you cross the Bristol Channel, look for the limestone cliffs and sandy bays of the UK's first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

⛰️

Snowdonia (Eryri)

During the descent over Wales, the dramatic peaks of the Snowdonia range, including Snowdon itself, are visible to the west.

🚤

The Wirral

As the plane aligns with the Mersey, the greenery and residential areas of the Wirral Peninsula dominate the view below.

Sit on the left for better views of the Welsh mountains and the North Wales coastline. This side is particularly scenic during late afternoon flights when the sun illuminates the peaks. Watch for the Hilbre Islands in the Dee Estuary just before turning toward the airport.
