JER → NCL
Which side of the plane to sit from Jersey Airport (Jersey) to Newcastle Airport (Newcastle)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides the most iconic landmarks, including a clear view of the Isle of Wight during the ascent and a panoramic view of the Tyne bridges and Newcastle city center during the final approach.
Isle of Wight
A fantastic aerial view of the Solent and the distinct diamond shape of the Isle of Wight.
The Midlands
Clear views of the sprawling urban landscapes of Birmingham or Nottingham depending on the specific airway.
North York Moors
A vast expanse of heather-covered moorland that meets the North Sea in the distance.
Tyne Bridges
If landing on Runway 25, you will get a perfect view of the iconic Tyne Bridge and the Millennium Bridge.
St James' Park
The massive structure of Newcastle United's stadium is often visible during the final descent into NCL.
The right side is essential for the NCL approach. If the plane lands from the east, you'll see the rugged Northumberland coast and the Angel of the North. In the morning, be prepared for bright sunlight through the window during the northbound leg.
Jurassic Coast
Views of the stunning white cliffs and bays of the Dorset coastline shortly after crossing the Channel.
Cotswolds AONB
Rolling green hills and historic villages of central England visible from cruising altitude.
Peak District National Park
The rugged plateaus and dramatic edges of the Dark Peak area as the flight heads north.
Yorkshire Dales
The distinctive limestone pavements and green valleys of the Dales spread out to the west.
Opt for the left side on late afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the Pennines. It is also the best side for viewing the rugged interior of Northern England without the glare of the morning sun.
