Lake District National Park
Unrivaled views of Windermere, Ullswater, and the rugged Cumbrian fells as you head north.
Yorkshire Dales
The western edges of the Dales, featuring distinctive limestone pavements and rolling green valleys.
Solway Firth
The expansive tidal estuary that forms a natural border between England and Scotland.
Isle of Arran
Visible on the horizon during the approach, often referred to as 'Scotland in Miniature'.
Firth of Clyde
Aerial views of the deep water sea loch and the coastal towns leading into Glasgow.
Book a window seat ahead of the wing for the best photography of the Lake District. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind the aircraft, illuminating the Cumbrian mountains clearly. During winter, look for snow on the peaks of Scafell Pike.

The right side is best for catching the urban sprawl of Glasgow as you land. If the wind is coming from the west, the plane may bank right over the city, offering a great look at the SEC Armadillo and the Clyde Arc bridge.
