Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior sequence of views, including the rugged Picos de Europa mountains in Spain and a stunning final approach over the Isle of Arran into Prestwick.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Murcia City

Bird's eye view of the historic regional capital and the Segura River shortly after departure.

🏔️

Picos de Europa

Dramatic limestone peaks of the Cantabrian Mountains visible as the flight exits the Spanish coast.

🌊

St George's Channel

Expansive views across the sea with the distant silhouette of the Irish coastline on clear days.

🏝️

Isle of Arran

Stunning views of the 'Highlands in Miniature' and the Goat Fell mountain during the final descent.

Sit on the left for evening flights to enjoy the sunset over the Atlantic. For the best view of the Isle of Arran on arrival, select a seat behind the wing to ensure the landing gear and flaps do not obstruct the jagged mountain ridges.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🏖️

Mar Menor

The largest salt-water lagoon in Europe and the La Manga strip visible immediately after takeoff.

⛰️

Snowdonia

The rugged peaks of North Wales, including Snowdon, are visible as the flight traverses the Irish Sea.

🏞️

The Lake District

The distinctive blue waters of Windermere and the fells of Cumbria visible to the east during the northern leg.

🚢

Ayrshire Coast

A detailed view of the Scottish coastline and the shipping lanes of the Firth of Clyde before touchdown.

The right side is ideal for night flights to see the dense city lights of Madrid, Manchester, and Liverpool. In winter, this side catches the early morning light over the Spanish Meseta if flying on a morning schedule.
