Liverpool & Mersey
Direct views of the Albert Dock, Liverpool city center, and the Mersey Estuary shortly after takeoff.
Snowdonia National Park
Clear views of the highest peaks in Wales as the flight heads south towards the Celtic Sea.
Bay of Biscay Crossing
The transition from the deep blue Atlantic to the rugged cliffs of the Spanish coastline near Gijón.
Picos de Europa
Stunning views of the limestone massifs in Northern Spain as the aircraft crosses the coastline.
Douro River Valley
The winding river and terraced vineyards of Portugal's famous wine region visible in the distance.
Vasco da Gama Bridge
A breathtaking view of Europe's second-longest bridge stretching across the Tagus Estuary during final descent.
For the best experience, choose a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine glare and heat haze. Morning flights offer excellent front-lit views of the Welsh mountains. On approach to Lisbon, keep your camera ready for the Tagus River; if the plane lands on Runway 03, you will have a perfect view of the Parque das Nações district.
