Lake District National Park
Aerial views of England's largest natural lakes, including Windermere, surrounded by the high fells of Cumbria.
Solway Firth
The dramatic tidal estuary and mudflats marking the border between England and Scotland.
Loch Lomond & The Trossachs
Breathtaking views of the 'Gateway to the Highlands' with its numerous islands and steep-sided glens.
Ben Nevis
Clear weather permitting, catch a glimpse of the UK's highest peak in the distance as you cross the Grampian Mountains.
Glencoe
The stark, haunting beauty of this volcanic glen and its iconic 'Three Sisters' peaks.
Sit forward of the wing for unobstructed views of the Lake District, which usually appears 35-40 minutes after takeoff. For late afternoon flights, this side catches the sunset light over the Atlantic-facing mountains, creating long shadows and deep textures in the glens.

East Midlands & Yorkshire
Views of major industrial hubs and the rolling hills of the eastern Peak District.
Northumberland Coast
Expansive views of the North Sea coastline and the rugged beaches near the Scottish border.
Firth of Forth
Look for the iconic Forth Bridges just west of Edinburgh as the plane tracks north.
Cairngorms National Park
The vast, arctic-alpine plateau of the eastern Highlands, home to Britain's largest mountain mass.
Moray Firth
The sparkling waters of the inlet as the aircraft makes its final descent into Inverness.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. It offers excellent coastal views if the flight path is slightly east of the standard route. Watch for the Cairngorms roughly 15 minutes before landing, as the snowy plateaus are visible even in late spring.
