Which side of the plane to sit from London Gatwick Airport (London) to L.F. Wade International International Airport (Bermuda)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Cornish coast and the Isles of Scilly shortly after takeoff, followed by a glare-free journey across the Atlantic and stunning views of Bermuda's northern reefs on arrival.
Jurassic Coast
View the UNESCO World Heritage site's unique limestone cliffs and geological formations.
Land's End
The westernmost point of mainland England marks your final departure from the European continent.
Isles of Scilly
A stunning bird's-eye view of this subtropical archipelago located 28 miles off the coast of Cornwall.
Mid-Ocean Traffic
Spot occasional cargo ships or cruise liners following the great circle routes below.
Bermuda Reef System
Breathtaking views of the northern reef line and the turquoise North Lagoon as you bank toward L.F. Wade.
This side is generally better for visibility as it faces north, away from the direct sun. Try to stay awake for the first 45-60 minutes of the flight to catch the Isles of Scilly. When landing, the right side often provides a panoramic view of the entire island chain and the intricate patterns of the surrounding coral reefs.
English Channel
Observe the world's busiest shipping lanes as you leave the UK coast.
Isle of Wight
Spot the iconic Needles chalk stacks on the western tip of the island.
French Coastline
Depending on the specific flight corridor, see the rugged peninsulas of Brittany in the far distance.
Atlantic Clouds
Marvel at complex meteorological formations and marine layers over the deep ocean.
South Shore Beaches
Catch glimpses of Bermuda's famous pink sands and Horseshoe Bay during the final descent.
Expect significant solar glare throughout this westbound flight as the sun remains to the south. Keep your window shade partially closed to manage cabin temperature. On final approach, look for the dramatic color change from deep indigo to bright turquoise as the ocean floor rises toward the island.
