LIG → LPL
Which side of the plane to sit from Limoges Airport (Limoges) to Liverpool John Lennon Airport (Liverpool)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a superior view of the historic Loire Valley châteaux, the rolling English Cotswolds, and a spectacular approach over the River Mersey showcasing the Liverpool city skyline.
Loire Valley Châteaux
Aerial views of the 'Garden of France' featuring historic estates and the winding Loire River.
Distant Paris
On exceptionally clear days, the distant silhouette of the Parisian suburbs and the Eiffel Tower may be visible to the east.
The Cotswolds
Iconic English countryside featuring honey-colored stone villages and patchwork green fields.
Midlands Urban Centers
Passage over the industrial heartland of England, including views of Birmingham's sprawling urban landscape.
Liverpool Waterfront
A breathtaking view of the Three Graces, the Royal Albert Dock, and the Liverpool city skyline during the final approach.
The right side is essential for seeing the iconic Liverpool skyline and the 'Three Graces' during the standard approach into LPL. For the best photography of the Loire Valley, a morning flight provides the best light angle. In winter, look for the snow-capped peaks of the Peak District in the distance as you head north through the English Midlands.
Limousin Countryside
Rolling green hills and dense forests of the Haute-Vienne region immediately after takeoff.
Normandy Coastline
Views of the rugged Cotentin Peninsula and the historic D-Day landing beaches as you depart French airspace.
Channel Islands
On clear days, the islands of Jersey and Guernsey are visible shimmering in the English Channel to the west.
Snowdonia Peaks
As you enter the final descent, the jagged mountains of North Wales provide a dramatic backdrop across the Dee Estuary.
The Wirral Peninsula
A clear view of the landmass between the River Dee and River Mersey just before touchdown.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze when photographing the Welsh mountains. During sunset flights, this side experiences the direct glow of the setting sun over the Atlantic. Watch for the distinctive shape of Mont Saint-Michel if the flight path tracks slightly westward over the coast.
