Northumberland Coast
Stunning stretches of white sand beaches and rugged cliffs along the North Sea.
Coastal Castles
Bird's-eye views of Dunstanburgh and the massive Bamburgh Castle perched on the shoreline.
Holy Island
The tidal island of Lindisfarne and its historic priory are clearly visible from cruising altitude.
Firth of Forth Bridges
The three iconic bridges, including the red cantilever Forth Bridge, are visible during the descent.
St Andrews
The world-famous 'Home of Golf' and its historic university town on the Fife coast.
The right side is the definitive choice for maritime scenery. Early morning flights offer the best lighting as the sun rises over the North Sea, illuminating the coastal cliffs. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Firth of Forth for the best views of the bridges.

Yorkshire Dales
Rolling limestone hills and green valleys visible shortly after takeoff from Leeds Bradford.

The rugged 'spine of England' provides a stark moorland landscape as you head north.
Edinburgh Cityscape
A glimpse of the Scottish capital, including Arthur's Seat and the historic Old Town.
Cheviot Hills
