Which side of the plane to sit from London Gatwick Airport (London) to Isle of Man Airport (Isle Of Man)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an exceptional aerial view of the London skyline during the initial climb, followed by the industrial heartlands of the Midlands and the distinct coastline of North West England before crossing the Irish Sea.

London Skyline
Spectacular views of The Shard, Canary Wharf, and the winding River Thames during the departure phase.
The Peak District
Rugged moorland and dark peak landscapes are visible as the flight path passes near Manchester.
Blackpool Tower
A distinct landmark visible on the coastline just before the aircraft begins its final descent into the Isle of Man.
Early morning flights are best for the right side to avoid sun glare. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff for the London skyline, and look for the Mersey Estuary as a signal that the crossing to the island is beginning.

Windsor Castle
Visible shortly after takeoff as the plane turns north, look for the iconic circular tower and sprawling royal grounds.
The Cotswolds
Expansive views of the rolling green hills and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in central England.
Eryri (Snowdonia)
On clear days, the rugged peaks of the North Wales mountains are visible across the water as you approach the island.
Sit toward the front of the aircraft to avoid wing obstruction. The left side is particularly scenic during late afternoon flights when the sun highlights the texture of the Welsh mountains and the reflections on the Irish Sea.
