Thames Estuary
A view of the busy shipping lanes and industrial infrastructure of the southeast UK during departure.
North Sea Platforms
Spotting oil and gas rigs dotting the sea, appearing as tiny industrial islands in the vast water.
Rogaland Coastline
The first dramatic sight of Norway's rocky, fractured coastline and deep blue sea inlets.
Stavanger Archipelago
Excellent views of the hundreds of small islands and the city harbor area during the descent into Sola.
The right side is the prime choice for the Norwegian arrival. For morning flights, the sun is positioned to illuminate the fjords and islands perfectly. As the plane nears SVG, look eastward for glimpses of the high mountains and the entrance to the Lysefjord, one of Norway's most iconic natural landmarks.

London Skyline
Distant but clear views of the City of London and the Shard during the initial northern climb.
East Anglian Coast
The flat, geometric landscapes of Norfolk and the winding coastline as the plane leaves the UK.
Offshore Wind Farms
Massive renewable energy arrays like the London Array visible as white dots in the North Sea.
North Sea Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the horizon, perfect for golden hour photography during evening flights.
Select the left side for evening flights to capture the sunset over the open ocean without cabin glare. During the descent, look for the 'white beaches' of the Jæren coastline if the approach is from the north. This side is typically quieter visually until the final minutes of the flight.
