Snowdonia National Park
The highest peaks in Wales, including Yr Wyddfa, providing a jagged silhouette against the horizon.
Isle of Man
On clear northern flight paths, the distinct shape of Snaefell mountain can be seen in the Irish Sea.
Dublin Bay
A panoramic view of the Irish capital and its busy port as you cross the coastline near Howth Head.
Lough Ree
The large, island-dotted lake on the River Shannon appearing as a blue oasis in the green landscape.
Benbulbin
The world-famous 'table mountain' of County Sligo visible to the north during the final approach to Knock.
The right side is ideal for capturing the rugged northern scenery. It is particularly scenic during the descent, where the Sligo and Mayo mountains come into view. For evening flights, you avoid the direct glare of the setting sun, making it easier to spot the glint of the Shannon's lakes. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Irish coast for the best contrast between sea and land.

The Chilterns
Rolling chalk hills and ancient woodlands of Buckinghamshire visible immediately after departure from Luton.
Cardigan Bay
The sweeping curve of the Welsh coastline where the rugged land meets St George's Channel.
Wicklow Mountains
The granite peaks and high ridges of Dublin's southern neighbor visible as you make landfall in Ireland.
The Bog of Allen
The vast, unique textures of the Irish midlands' peatlands stretching across several counties.
Lough Derg
Distal views of the expansive waters of the Shannon river system glinting in the sunlight.
Sit on the left for the best views of the southern Irish coastline and the deep green landscapes of the midlands. If flying during the afternoon, this side will be in the sun, which is great for warmth but can cause glare for photography. Watch for the distinctive patterns of the peat bogs during the mid-flight transition from the coast toward the west.
