Which side of the plane to sit from Kerry Airport (Kerry) to London Luton Airport (London)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers superior views of the dramatic South Wales coastline, the iconic Severn Bridges, and the historic architectural landscape of Oxford during the descent into the London area.
Cork Coastline
Glance south toward the natural harbor of Cork and the rugged headlands of the Wild Atlantic Way.
Gower Peninsula
The first designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the UK, featuring Rhossili Bay.
Severn Bridges
The two massive suspension and cable-stayed bridges spanning the Severn Estuary between Wales and England.
Oxford Spires
The iconic 'Dreaming Spires' of Oxford University are frequently visible on the descent path.
Chiltern Hills
The chalk escarpment and dense beech forests marking the final approach into Luton Airport.
The Right Side is spectacular during late afternoon or sunset flights as the sun reflects off the Bristol Channel and Severn Estuary. Look for the distinctive 'M4' motorway corridor which serves as a navigational landmark toward London.
MacGillycuddy's Reeks
Views of Ireland's highest mountain range, including Carrauntoohil, shortly after departure from Kerry.
St George's Channel
The deep blue expanse separating the emerald fields of Ireland from the rugged cliffs of West Wales.
Pembrokeshire Coast
Aerial perspective of the jagged limestone cliffs and sandy bays of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.
Bannau Brycheiniog
The rolling green peaks of the Brecon Beacons rising above the South Wales valleys.
The Cotswolds
A patchwork of ancient woodlands and honey-colored stone villages typical of central England.
Choose the Left Side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you, providing optimal lighting for photos of the Welsh mountains. Watch for the Galtee Mountains while still over Irish soil.
