Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Portuguese coastline and the classic scenic approach over the Mersey Estuary into Liverpool.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Las Palmas Coastline

Excellent views of Gran Canaria's capital and the unique Isleta peninsula immediately after departure.

🇵🇹

Portuguese Riviera

The flight path often hugs the coast, offering glimpses of Lisbon's Tagus River and the red-roofed cities of Porto.

🏰

Cornish Coast

Iconic views of Land's End and St Michael's Mount as the aircraft enters British airspace over Cornwall.

🚢

Mersey Estuary

The final approach provides a panoramic view of the Liverpool skyline, the historic docks, and the Wirral Peninsula.

⚽

Stadium Row

Depending on the wind direction, you may spot Anfield and Goodison Park just before touchdown.

The right side is essential for the iconic 'River Mersey' arrival. For evening flights, you will enjoy a spectacular sunset over the Atlantic for the majority of the journey. Choose a window seat away from the engine to capture the reflection of the sun on the Portuguese coast.

🌋

Mount Teide

Shortly after takeoff, look west to see the massive volcanic peak of Tenerife rising above the Atlantic clouds.

🌊

Rías Baixas

Dramatic views of the rugged, fjord-like inlets along the coast of Galicia in Northwest Spain.

⛰️

Snowdonia National Park

As you cross into North Wales, the craggy peaks of the Glyderau and Carneddau ranges are visible during descent.

🏝️

Isles of Scilly

On clear days, these turquoise islands appear as gems in the Celtic Sea before hitting the UK mainland.

Sit behind the wing for unobstructed views of the Canary Islands during the initial climb. This side is particularly scenic during morning flights when the sun illuminates the Spanish and Welsh coastlines from the east.
