Search flights from MAN to GCI
Shropshire Hills
Rugged ridges and valleys along the Welsh border visible during the early phase of the flight.
Severn Estuary
The massive Severn Bridges connecting England and Wales are a major landmark from altitude.
Jurassic Coast
Breathtaking views of the Isle of Portland and the UNESCO World Heritage Dorset coastline.
The Casquets
The isolated lighthouse rocks in the English Channel appear just before reaching the islands.
Guernsey West Coast
On typical westerly approaches, see the white sands of Vazon and Cobo bays during final descent.
Excellent for afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Atlantic. Watch for the dramatic transition from the English mainland to the open water over the Dorset cliffs. This side typically gets the best view of Guernsey's scenic west coast bays if landing from the east.

Rolling green hills and patchworked fields characteristic of the English countryside.
