A stunning bird's-eye view of the UNESCO World Heritage site sitting on its rocky peninsula.
The Pennines
The 'backbone of England' provides a scenic backdrop of peaks and valleys to the west.
Greater London
On clear days, the distant skyscrapers of the City and Canary Wharf are visible before crossing the sea.
English Channel
Views of the busy shipping lanes and the coastal cliffs of Picardy as you enter French airspace.
Paris Skyline
The most coveted view; depending on the approach path, the Eiffel Tower and Sacré-Cœur are often visible to the west.
Choose the right side for the highest landmark density. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff for Durham and again about 15 minutes before landing. If CDG is using westerly runways, the right side offers a magnificent view of the entire Paris skyline and its iconic monuments.
