JER → NWI
Which side of the plane to sit from Jersey Airport (Jersey) to Norwich International Airport (Norwich)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the English South Coast landmarks, including the Portsmouth skyline, and typically provides a breathtaking perspective of the London skyline and the Norfolk Broads on the approach to Norwich.
Portsmouth & Spinnaker Tower
Clear views of the historic dockyards, the Solent, and the iconic 170-meter tall observation tower.
London Skyline
A spectacular panorama of the Thames, The Shard, and Canary Wharf as the aircraft transits the busy corridors of the southeast.
The Norfolk Broads
The unique network of navigable rivers and lakes that characterize the landscape just east of Norwich.
Felixstowe Port
The UK's largest container port is often visible as a colorful grid of blocks on the Suffolk coast.
Great Yarmouth
The traditional seaside piers and sandy beaches of the East Anglian coast during the final descent.
The right side is the star of this route. To see the London skyline clearly, choose a mid-day flight when the sun is to the south. During the descent into NWI, watch for the winding rivers of the Broads; they look particularly beautiful during the 'golden hour' before sunset when the water reflects the sky.
St Ouen's Bay
The expansive sandy western coastline of Jersey visible immediately after takeoff if departing to the west.
The New Forest
A vast ancient woodland and heathland in Hampshire, appearing as a dense green carpet.
Windsor Castle
On clear days, the world's oldest occupied castle can be spotted as the flight passes west of London.
The Fens
The distinctively flat, grid-like agricultural landscape of Cambridgeshire and Western Norfolk.
Sit on the left for views of the rugged western Jersey cliffs during departure. As you enter UK airspace, look for the needles on the Isle of Wight in the distance. This side is often better for avoiding direct glare if flying north in the early morning.
