Peak District
Lush rolling hills and moorlands visible shortly after departing Leeds Bradford southward.
Mont Blanc Massif
The highest peak in Western Europe often dominates the horizon on the left side during the Alpine crossing.
Greater London
On clear days, the vast sprawl of the UK capital and the Thames are visible to the south-east.
Burgundy Vineyards
The precise, geometric patterns of world-famous French vineyards visible over eastern France.
Piazza dei Miracoli
The Leaning Tower and the Cathedral are often visible on the left during the final approach into Pisa.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is best for spotting the snow-capped massif of Mont Blanc and the historic center of Pisa during the final moments of the flight. If the plane lands from the north, the tower is clearly visible.
