Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the eastern Canary Islands upon departure and the dramatic English coastline and Pennines during the final approach into Newcastle.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏝️

Lanzarote & Fuerteventura

Witness the stark, lunar-like volcanic landscapes of the easternmost Canary Islands during the initial climb.

πŸ–οΈ

Costa de la Luz

Spot the golden sands of the Spanish coastline near Huelva and the mouth of the Guadalquivir river.

πŸ™οΈ

Greater London

On many flight paths, the sprawling urban expanse of London and the Thames Estuary are visible to the east.

πŸ“‰

The Pennines

Enjoy views of the 'backbone of England' as the plane follows the spine of the country northward.

🏰

Durham & Northeast Coast

During descent, see the historic Durham coastline and the mouth of the River Tyne before landing.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the western sun. It provides the best perspective of the English East Coast and the North York Moors during the descent. If the aircraft approaches NCL from the north, you will get a perfect view of the Newcastle city skyline and its iconic bridges.

πŸŒ‹

Mount Teide

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

🌊

Bay of Biscay

Cross the vast, deep blue waters between the Spanish north coast and the western tip of France.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

Brittany Peninsula

View the rugged, jagged coastline of western France including the islands near Brest.

⛰️

Welsh Mountains

As the flight progresses north over the UK, capture the rolling peaks of the Brecon Beacons and Snowdonia.

🏞️

Lake District

In the distance, the fells and lakes of Cumbria are visible on clear days before the descent begins.

Choose the left side for evening flights to witness spectacular sunsets over the Atlantic Ocean. This side is also better for spotting the high-altitude volcanic peaks of the western Canary Islands during the first 20 minutes of flight. Keep a watch for the distinctive coastline of Cornwall and Devon as you enter UK airspace.
