LPL → JER
Which side of the plane to sit from Liverpool John Lennon Airport (Liverpool) to Jersey Airport (Jersey)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Welsh borderlands, the engineering marvels of the Severn Estuary, and a dramatic aerial perspective of the other Channel Islands like Guernsey and Sark before landing.
Wirral & Dee Estuary
The sandy banks and wetlands of the Wirral Peninsula and the border between England and Wales.
Clwydian Range
The rugged northern peaks of the Welsh mountains extending toward the horizon.
Severn Crossings
The impressive M4 and M48 bridges spanning the wide waters of the Severn Estuary.
The Jurassic Coast
The UNESCO World Heritage coastline of Dorset, featuring dramatic cliffs and hidden coves.
Guernsey & Sark
Excellent bird's-eye views of the neighboring Channel Islands as the plane descends toward Jersey.
Choose the right side for the most dramatic coastal views. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, highlighting the colors of the English Channel. Keep your camera ready as you cross the coast of Dorset; the cliff formations are spectacular from 20,000 feet.
Liverpool Cityscape
Panoramic views of the Pier Head, the Three Graces, and the city's historic docks immediately after takeoff.
The Cotswolds
Gentle rolling hills and patchworks of emerald green farmland characteristic of central England.
Bristol and the Mendips
Vistas of the historic port of Bristol and the limestone ridges of the Mendip Hills.
The Solent
Glimpses of the busy shipping lanes near the Isle of Wight and the southern English coastline.
St Helier
Clear views of Jersey's capital and Elizabeth Castle during the final approach into Jersey Airport.
Sit on the left for the best view of Liverpool's skyline during the initial climb. For photography, mid-day flights provide the most even lighting across the English countryside. During the landing phase, the left side is usually the best for seeing the town of St. Helier.
