NCE → LPL
Which side of the plane to sit from Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport (Nice) to Liverpool John Lennon Airport (Liverpool)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers an unparalleled view of the snow-capped Southern Alps shortly after takeoff and the most dramatic perspectives of the Mersey Estuary and Liverpool skyline during the final descent.
Mercantour Alps
Stunning views of the high altitude peaks and glacial valleys immediately following departure.
Paris Environs
On clear days, the distant Eiffel Tower and the dense urban sprawl of the French capital are visible.
English Channel
The world's busiest shipping lanes and often the White Cliffs of Dover depending on the air corridor.
Peak District
The rolling green hills and dales of northern England as the plane begins its descent.
Mersey Gateway
A perfect view of the Runcorn bridges and the industrial heritage of the Liverpool docks on landing.
The right side is essential for Alpine enthusiasts; ensure you are looking out within the first 15 minutes of flight. As you approach LPL, the right side typically offers the best view of the Liverpool city center and the iconic Liver Building if landing on Runway 27.
Baie des Anges
The sparkling turquoise waters of the Mediterranean and the coastline toward Antibes and Cannes.
Auvergne Volcanic Park
Distant silhouettes of the ancient dormant volcanoes of central France.
Loire Valley
Bird's-eye view of the historic chateaux and the winding Loire River.
Normandy Coastline
The dramatic cliffs and beaches of Northern France before the Channel crossing.
The Wirral
Aerial views of the Wirral Peninsula and the Irish Sea just before touchdown.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harshest sun glare. During takeoff from Nice, you get a beautiful panorama of the French Riviera beaches. On approach to Liverpool, this side is better for spotting the North Wales coastline in the distance.
