Central London Skyline
Unrivaled perspectives of The Shard, Tower Bridge, and the City financial district shortly after departure.
Alabaster Coast
The striking white chalk cliffs of Normandy near Dieppe as the flight enters French airspace.
Loire Valley
Aerial views of France's longest river and the historic châteaux dotting the valley landscape.
Perche Natural Park
Overhead views of the vast ancient forests and lush meadows of north-central France.
The right side is highly recommended for the initial 5 minutes of the flight for the iconic London city views. In the late afternoon, the sun will be positioned behind the aircraft, providing the most vivid lighting for photographing the French countryside and the Dordogne valley during arrival.

London Docklands
Spectacular views of Canary Wharf and the O2 Arena immediately after takeoff from LCY.
Garden of England
The patchwork fields, orchards, and historic manor houses of Kent's countryside.
Strait of Dover
A bird's-eye view of the world's busiest shipping lane and the meeting of the North Sea and Channel.
Corrèze Gorges
The deep, forested valleys and limestone plateaus of the Limousin region during the final approach.
Avoid the left side on early morning flights to minimize sun glare while trying to spot the Thames Barrier. During the descent into Brive, the left side offers the best chance to see the winding Vézère River and its ancient stone bridges.
