The Peak District
Early views of the rolling green hills and dales of northern England just after takeoff.
London Skyline
A potential bird's-eye view of the Thames, the Shard, and the vast urban expanse of Greater London.
Kent Coastline
The iconic white chalk cliffs and the busy shipping lanes of the English Channel.
Paris Basin
Vast agricultural plains of Northern France punctuated by small historic villages.
Loire River
A beautiful crossing of France's longest river, known for its historic chateaus.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare while enjoying views of London and the Loire. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes in for the English coast and 50 minutes in for the Loire Valley. Visibility is best in autumn when the morning mist clears over the French river basins.
