Lough Neagh

Mersey Estuary
Aerial views of the Wirral Peninsula and the industrial landscape of the southern Mersey banks.
North Wales Coast
Distant but clear views of the Snowdonia mountain range and the Great Orme near Llandudno.
Calf of Man
The small island and lighthouse at the southern tip of the Isle of Man visible during the mid-flight cruise.
Strangford Lough
A stunning view of the drumlin islands and the protected sea lough as you cross into Northern Ireland.
Choose the left side for sunset views on evening flights heading west. It offers better perspectives of the rugged Welsh coastline if the flight path takes a slightly more southerly track over the Irish Sea.
