Rhine River
The winding silver ribbon of Europe's major waterway cutting through the German landscape.
Greater London
Depending on the air traffic corridor, views of the sprawling London metropolis to the south.
Snowdonia / Eryri
The dramatic, rugged peaks of North Wales, including Snowdon, the highest point in Wales.
Shannon Estuary
The massive, dramatic mouth of the River Shannon as the plane aligns for its final approach.
The Burren
The unique, moon-like glaciated karst landscape of County Clare visible during the descent.
