LPL → EGC
Which side of the plane to sit from Liverpool John Lennon Airport (Liverpool) to Bergerac-Roumanière Airport (Bergerac)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers spectacular views of the Atlantic coastline of France, including the islands of the Charente-Maritime region, followed by a picturesque approach over the rolling hills and medieval estates of the Dordogne.
Snowdonia National Park
Distant views of the Welsh mountains and the North Wales coastline shortly after departure.
Ile de Ré & La Rochelle
Stunning views of the white sandy beaches and the bridge connecting the island to the mainland near La Rochelle.
Bay of Biscay
The deep blue waters of the Atlantic meeting the rugged western coast of France.
Gironde Estuary
The wide mouth of the Gironde river and the world-famous vineyards of the Médoc region to the south.
Château de Monbazillac
During the final approach into Bergerac, look for this iconic 16th-century castle perched on a hill overlooking the vineyards.
The right side is superior for coastal scenery. Watch for the distinctive salt pans on the French islands. On the approach to EGC, the plane often banks, providing a perfect view of the Dordogne River. Early evening flights offer beautiful golden hour lighting over the French countryside.
Liverpool Waterfront
A clear view of the Royal Albert Dock and the iconic Liver Building immediately after takeoff from Runway 27.
Isle of Wight
A birds-eye view of the Needles and the Solent as the aircraft leaves the English coast.
Mont Saint-Michel
On clear days, the distant silhouette of the famous island abbey can be spotted as you enter French airspace over Normandy.
The Loire River
Cross the longest river in France, seeing the winding water channels near the city of Angers.
Dordogne Valley
Aerial vistas of the lush green valleys and agricultural patchwork of the Périgord region during the final descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It provides the best perspective of Liverpool's cityscape if the wind is blowing from the west at takeoff. Keep an eye out for the historic chateaux scattered along the Loire Valley as you pass over central France.
