Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the iconic Causeway Coast of Northern Ireland and the striking volcanic plug of Ailsa Craig in the Firth of Clyde.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏖️

Magilligan Point

The dramatic golden sand spit at the mouth of Lough Foyle, home to a historic Martello tower.

🗿

Causeway Coast

Aerial perspectives of the UNESCO-listed Giant's Causeway and the dramatic cliffs of the North Coast.

🏝️

Rathlin Island

The L-shaped island between Northern Ireland and Scotland, famous for its puffin colonies.

🌋

Ailsa Craig

The unmistakable, steep-sided volcanic plug sitting alone in the middle of the Firth of Clyde.

⛳

Ayrshire Coastline

Clear views of world-renowned golf courses like Royal Troon as the aircraft enters the PIK landing pattern.

The right side is the 'landmark side.' Keep your camera ready for Ailsa Craig, which is the most photogenic feature of this route. For the best lighting on the Causeway Coast cliffs, choose a midday flight when the sun is high and illuminates the vertical rock faces.

Left Side Highlights
7.9
🌊

Lough Foyle

Immediate views of the expansive estuary and the rugged Inishowen Peninsula of County Donegal.

🥃

Islay and Jura

On clear days, see the southern Hebridean islands and the distinctive Paps of Jura mountains to the north.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Mull of Kintyre

The long, wild peninsula of Kintyre is visible as the flight crosses the narrow North Channel.

🏔️

Goatfell and Arran

Spectacular views of the jagged granite peaks of northern Arran during the descent.

🚢

Firth of Clyde

Busy shipping lanes and ferry routes connecting the Scottish mainland to the Western Isles.

Sit on the left if you are interested in the remote islands of the Inner Hebrides. Morning flights provide excellent backlighting for the Irish coastline immediately after takeoff, while evening flights offer a silhouette of the Donegal hills.
