Historic Oxford
The 'Dreaming Spires' of Oxford University are frequently visible as the plane heads south over Oxfordshire.
The Solent & Isle of Wight
The distinctive diamond shape of the Isle of Wight and the busy shipping lanes of the Solent during the Channel crossing.
Normandy Coastline
Clear views of the French coast and the mouth of the Seine River near Le Havre as you enter French airspace.
Eiffel Tower & Paris Skyline
During the standard arrival patterns, the right side usually provides the best angle to see the Eiffel Tower and La Défense.
Sit on the right for morning flights to keep the sun behind the plane for better photography. This side is prime for the Isle of Wight crossing, which is a major visual landmark. On the descent into CDG, the right side is more likely to offer a glimpse of the Parisian skyline if the aircraft approaches from the west.
