Sierra de Guadarrama
Dramatic mountain peaks and deep valleys north of Madrid shortly after takeoff.
Brittany Coastline
The jagged, rocky shores of western France near Brest and the Iroise Sea.
Land's End
The iconic westernmost tip of Cornwall with its turquoise waters and white-sand beaches.
Snowdonia National Park
Stunning aerial views of Yr Wyddfa and the glacial valleys of North Wales during descent.
River Mersey Estuary
The wide tidal mouth of the Mersey as the aircraft lines up for final approach.
Sit on the left for the best lighting during afternoon flights to avoid the glare of the sun. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the Welsh mountains, as the aircraft often passes directly over the highest peaks of Snowdonia before turning toward the Mersey.
