Peak District National Park
View the rolling hills and gritstone edges of Northern England shortly after takeoff from Manchester.
Humber Estuary
Spot the massive Humber Bridge and the industrial port of Hull as the aircraft crosses the UK coastline.
West Frisian Islands
A clear view of the Dutch islands including Texel and Terschelling, appearing as golden crescents in the North Sea.
Wadden Sea
Witness the UNESCO-protected intertidal zones with complex sandbanks and tidal channels between the islands and the mainland.
East Frisian Islands
As the flight nears Germany, look for Borkum, Juist, and Norderney lined up along the horizon.
Book a window seat on the left for early morning flights to avoid direct glare while seeing the islands. The sequence of islands starts roughly 35-45 minutes into the flight. Look for the distinct 'hook' shape of Texel island as your first major landmark over the North Sea.

Lincolnshire Wolds
The green patchwork of the English countryside and the flat agricultural lands of Lincolnshire.
The Wash
The large square-shaped bay on the east coast of England, known for its salt marshes and wildlife.
Offshore Wind Farms
Massive arrays of wind turbines in the North Sea, appearing as white dots against the blue water.
Oldenburg
The historic city of Oldenburg is often visible during the initial descent into the Bremen area.
Bremen City Center
Depending on the landing direction, the right side often offers a view of the Weser Stadium and the historic Schnoor quarter.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind the aircraft. During the descent, keep an eye out for the Weser River; if landing from the west, the right side gets the most iconic view of the football stadium and the city's red-roofed architecture.
