The Cotswolds
Rolling green hills and designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty stretching across the Midlands.

Depending on the flight path, a distant but impressive view of the London metropolitan area to the east.
English Channel
Expansive views of the water crossing between the United Kingdom and continental Europe.
Alabaster Coast
The striking white cliffs and seaside towns near Dieppe along the Normandy coastline.
Beauvais Cathedral
On the final descent, look for the tall Gothic spire of the Saint-Pierre de Beauvais cathedral.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the sea. For the best views of the French coastline near Dieppe, choose a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the cliffs.
