Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers unparalleled views of the Mediterranean islands of Sardinia and Corsica, followed by the unique volcanic craters of the French Massif Central and the rolling English countryside.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Cap Bon Peninsula

A stunning departure view of Tunisia's northeastern tip stretching into the turquoise Gulf of Hammamet.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Strait of Bonifacio

A breathtaking view of the narrow passage between the rugged islands of Sardinia and Corsica.

๐ŸŒ‹

Chaรฎne des Puys

The dramatic chain of extinct volcanoes and cinder cones in France's Massif Central region.

๐Ÿ›ฅ๏ธ

The Solent

The busy shipping lanes of the English Channel with views of the Isle of Wight and the Needles.

๐Ÿ‘

The Mendip Hills

The lush, green limestone hills of Somerset during the final minutes of flight.

Highly recommended for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, illuminating the French volcanoes. Look out approximately 45-60 minutes after takeoff for the mountainous terrain of Corsica. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes for views of the Cotswolds and the city of Bath in the distance.

South Wales Coast

Distant views of the Glamorgan Heritage Coast during the final approach maneuvers.

The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. During the final descent into Bristol, if the plane is landing towards the West (Runway 27), this side provides the best view of the Severn Bridge and the Welsh hills.
