Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides excellent morning light and clear views of the Tyrrhenian Sea, the eastern edge of Corsica, and the scenic North Sea coastline of the UK during the final descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Tyrrhenian Sea

Deep blue waters dotted with small islets between the North African coast and Italy.

🏔️

Alpine Horizon

On clear days, the snow-covered peaks of the European Alps are visible to the far east.

🏙️

London & Thames Estuary

A view of the sprawling Greater London area and the winding River Thames from high altitude.

🏰

Northumberland Coast

Dramatic views of the English coastline, including historical landmarks, as you approach NCL.

Choose this side for the best lighting during daytime flights to avoid direct sun glare. Look for the white cliffs of Dover as you cross from France into UK airspace.

Left Side Highlights
7.6
🏖️

Gulf of Hammamet

Stunning views of the Tunisian coastline and turquoise shallows immediately after takeoff.

🏝️

Western Corsica

The rugged, mountainous terrain and jagged cliffs of the French island's west coast.

🗼

Paris Basin

The expansive agricultural plains of northern France and potential distant views of Paris.

⛰️

The Pennines

Rolling green hills and moorlands of the UK's backbone during the descent into Newcastle.

Best for sunset views on late afternoon flights. Keep an eye out for the distinctive shape of the Balearic Islands if the flight path deviates slightly west over the Mediterranean.
