London Docklands
Breathtaking immediate views of Canary Wharf and the O2 Arena right after wheels-up.
The City & Shard
Clear sightlines to the Shard, Tower Bridge, and the historic financial district as you climb.
Wembley Stadium
The iconic arch is often visible as the flight path tracks West/Northwest over London.
Dublin Bay
A beautiful sweeping view of the Irish coastline, including Dun Laoghaire and the Liffey mouth.
Wicklow Mountains
In the distance to the south, the rolling green peaks of the Garden of Ireland appear on descent.
Sit on the left for the 'steep departure' experience LCY is famous for; you will be looking directly down at the Thames. For the best photography, aim for a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the London skyscrapers and the Irish coast perfectly.

Olympic Park
View the legacy of London 2012, including the Stadium and the ArcelorMittal Orbit.
Snowdonia
On clear days, the rugged peaks of North Wales provide a dramatic landscape before the sea crossing.
Anglesey
The jagged coastline of this Welsh island is a key landmark before heading out over the Irish Sea.
Howth Head
The rocky peninsula north of Dublin is a prominent feature during the final approach phase.
Malahide
View the scenic northern suburbs of Dublin and the Malahide Estuary just before touchdown.
The right side is ideal for catching the sunset over the Irish Sea during evening flights. If the wind is coming from the West (standard for DUB), you will see the northern Dublin coastline in great detail. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Welsh coast for the most dramatic terrain changes.
