Limousin Countryside
Rolling green hills and dense forests of the Haute-Vienne region immediately after takeoff.
Loire Valley
View of the winding Loire River and potentially some of the historic chateaux to the west.
Isle of Wight
Visible as the plane crosses the English Channel, featuring the distinctive white Needles on clear days.
Oxford Spires
The historic skyline of Oxford University and the surrounding dreaming spires.
The Cotswolds
The quintessential English landscape of honey-colored stone villages and rolling limestone hills.
Sit on the left for better lighting during morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Look out for the Solent and the Isle of Wight shortly after crossing the French coast. This side is also excellent for spotting the rural beauty of the Cotswolds as you begin your descent into the Midlands.
