MANNOC

Our Recommendation
7.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Liverpool waterfront during takeoff, potential sightings of the Isle of Man mid-flight, and the rugged terrain of Sligo and Mayo during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🚢

Liverpool & Mersey

Excellent views of the historic Liverpool docks, the Mersey Estuary, and the Wirral Peninsula shortly after takeoff.

🇮🇲

Isle of Man

Midway through the flight, the silhouette of Snaefell and the Manx coastline can often be spotted to the north.

⛰️

Ox Mountains

During the final descent into Knock, enjoy views of this ancient quartzite mountain range in County Sligo.

🌊

Donegal Bay

On a northern approach, you may catch a glimpse of the dramatic coastline where the Atlantic meets the west of Ireland.

For the best experience, choose a window seat in the front half of the cabin to avoid engine heat haze. Look out early for the Blackpool Tower if the plane takes a northern departure route out of Manchester.

Left Side Highlights
7.0
🏙️

Manchester Urban Sprawl

Clear views of the city center and iconic sporting stadiums like Old Trafford during the initial climb.

🏔️

Snowdonia Peaks

To the south, the rugged mountains of North Wales are often visible across the water on clear days.

☘️

The Irish Midlands

A vast patchwork of emerald green fields and ancient peat bogs as you cross into the heart of Ireland.

Sit behind the wing for the best view of the Irish coastline. Evening flights are particularly beautiful on this side as the sun sets over the Atlantic ahead of you, illuminating the clouds.
