Which side of the plane to sit from Liverpool John Lennon Airport (Liverpool) to Isle of Man Airport (Isle Of Man)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an iconic aerial perspective of the Liverpool waterfront and the impressive offshore wind farms before approaching the rugged eastern coast of the Isle of Man.
Liverpool Waterfront
Clear views of the Three Graces, the Liver Building, and the modern docks during the initial climb.
Crosby Beach
The site of Anthony Gormley's 'Another Place' statues, visible as 100 iron men standing along the shoreline.
Burbo Bank Wind Farm
An extensive array of massive offshore wind turbines situated in the mouth of the Mersey.
Douglas Bay
The Isle of Man's capital, featuring the Tower of Refuge and the Victorian promenade as the plane turns for approach.
The right side is best for city photography. For the best view of the Liverpool skyline, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure your view isn't obstructed. In winter, early morning flights provide stunning 'golden hour' lighting over the Irish Sea wind farms.
Mersey Estuary
The wide, shimmering waters of the River Mersey and the sandbanks of the Wirral Peninsula during takeoff.
Snowdonia Peaks
On clear days, the distant silhouette of the North Wales mountains and the Great Orme are visible to the south.
Langness Peninsula
A low-lying rocky spit of land featuring a prominent lighthouse and golf course just before landing at Ronaldsway.
Cammell Laird
The historic shipyards and dry docks located on the Birkenhead side of the river.
Sit on the left if you want to catch glimpses of the Welsh coastline and the southern tip of the Isle of Man. It is particularly scenic during sunset flights when the light hits the Irish Sea at a low angle, highlighting the texture of the water.
