Snowdonia Peaks
On clear days, the distant mountains of North Wales provide a dramatic skyline to the west shortly after takeoff.
Severn Bridges
The impressive engineering of the M4 and M48 bridges crossing the wide Severn Estuary.
Bristol Channel
The transition from the English mainland to the Atlantic-facing coastline of Somerset and Devon.
Channel Shipping
Spotting massive container ships and ferries navigating the busy waters between England and France.
Corbière Lighthouse
The iconic white lighthouse on Jersey's southwestern tip, often seen during the final turn for landing.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. The most spectacular moment is the final approach into Jersey; the aircraft often flies parallel to the five-mile stretch of St Ouen's Bay. Ensure your window is clear as the descent over the Atlantic provides excellent lighting for photography of the island's granite cliffs.

During the descent, look for the unique patterns of the oyster beds in the Royal Bay of Grouville if the flight path allows.
