Our Recommendation
8.4

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior vantage points for the departure from the Mediterranean coast, potential distant views of Paris and London, and the iconic Forth Bridges during the final descent into Edinburgh.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🛥️

Marseille & Calanques

Stunning views of the Vieux-Port and the limestone cliffs of the Mediterranean coast shortly after takeoff.

🍷

Rhône Valley

The snaking Rhône river flanked by some of the world's most famous vineyard terraces.

🗼

Paris Cityscape

Depending on the specific airway, a distant but recognizable view of the Eiffel Tower and Parisian sprawl.

🎡

Greater London

A panoramic view of the English capital including the Thames and the skyscrapers of the City.

⛰️

Peak District

The rolling hills and moors of England's first national park in the North Midlands.

🌉

Forth Bridges

The legendary red cantilever railway bridge and the modern Queensferry Crossing over the Firth of Forth.

Choose the right side for evening flights to witness the sunset over the British Isles. The highlight occurs in the final minutes of the flight; if the plane approaches from the east, you will have a front-row seat to the UNESCO-listed Forth Bridge. Seasonal tip: in winter, the snowy peaks of the Alps may be visible in the far distance shortly after leaving Marseille.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌋

Auvergne Volcanoes

The dormant volcanic peaks of the Chaîne des Puys in the Massif Central region.

🏰

Loire Valley

Vast stretches of the French countryside dotted with historic châteaux and winding rivers.

🏖️

Normandy Coastline

Dramatic white cliffs and the historic beaches of Northern France before crossing the Channel.

🏞️

Lake District

Glimpses of England's most famous national park featuring rugged fells and glacial ribbon lakes.

🌊

Solway Firth

The large estuary forming part of the border between England and Scotland.

The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Keep an eye out early in the flight for the unique conical shapes of the Auvergne volcanoes. During the descent, the rugged terrain of the Southern Uplands is most prominent on this side.
