Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Lake District

Stunning views of the Cumbrian mountains and the deep glacial lakes of Northern England.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The Grampian Mountains

Clear views of the highest peaks in the UK, including the rugged terrain of the Scottish Highlands.

🧊

Vatnajökull View

On clear days, the massive white expanse of Europe's largest glacier is visible in the distance as you approach Iceland.

🌋

Reykjanes Peninsula

Dramatic views of the fresh lava fields, steam from geothermal plants, and the rugged coastline near KEF.

Sit on the right for the best chance to see the Icelandic coast. During the winter, this side is also excellent for spotting the Northern Lights on night flights. Try to book a seat in front of the wing to get clear shots of the volcanic landscapes during the descent.

🏙️

London Suburbs

Aerial views of the northern Greater London area and the Home Counties shortly after takeoff from Luton.

🏝️

Outer Hebrides

The rugged western islands of Scotland, including Lewis and Harris, are visible as the flight heads into the Atlantic.

🌅

Atlantic Horizon

Uninterrupted views of the North Atlantic, perfect for viewing the sunset on late afternoon or evening departures.

Choose this side if you are flying in the late afternoon to enjoy a prolonged sunset over the ocean. It is generally quieter for photography as you avoid the direct glare of the sun when flying North-West during the day.
