Mersey Estuary
Unrivaled views of the Liverpool docks, the Wirral Peninsula, and the Welsh mountains in the distance.
French Atlantic Coast
Views of the Bay of Biscay, including the islands of Île de Ré and Île d'Oléron near La Rochelle.
Western Pyrenees
Craggy limestone peaks and deep valleys marking the transition into the Iberian Peninsula.
Benidorm Skyline
The famous 'Manhattan of Spain' with its dense cluster of skyscrapers visible just before landing.
Spanish Interior
The arid, rugged beauty of the Sierra de Mariola mountain range during the descent.
This side is spectacular for afternoon departures as the sun sets over the Atlantic. Try to sit ahead of or behind the wing to capture the French coastline. On the descent into Alicante, look for the contrast between the dry Spanish mountains and the blue Mediterranean Sea. It is particularly scenic during the winter months when the Pyrenees are snow-capped.

Lush green fields of the English countryside immediately after takeoff from Liverpool.
English Channel
The transit from the South Coast of England over to the Normandy region of France.
Central Pyrenees
Dramatic views of the high peaks as the flight crosses the border from France into Spain.
Santa Barbara Castle
The historic fortification overlooking Alicante, visible on the final approach if landing from the sea.
Choose this side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. If the plane approaches from the Mediterranean, you will get a perfect view of the Alicante coastline and port area. Keep an eye out for the Ebro River winding through the Spanish landscape midway through the flight.
