Which side of the plane to sit from Newcastle Airport (Newcastle) to Isle of Man Airport (Isle Of Man)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the rugged Northern Lake District fells and the dramatic coastline of the Isle of Man, including Snaefell mountain during the approach.
Hadrian's Wall
Look for the ancient Roman fortifications cutting across the Northumberland landscape.
Northern Fells
Dramatic views of Skiddaw and Blencathra, some of the most prominent peaks in the Lake District.
Solway Firth
The beautiful estuary forming the border between England and Scotland is visible to the northwest.
Snaefell
The highest point on the Isle of Man, visible as the aircraft crosses the coastline for landing.
The right side is best for mountainous terrain. On clear days, you may even spot the Scottish coastline across the Solway Firth. Watch for the Laxey Wheel on the Manx coast as the plane begins its final turn toward Ronaldsway.
Tyne Valley
View the southern outskirts of Newcastle and the winding River Tyne shortly after departure.
Windermere
Spot England's largest natural lake and the rolling hills of the southern Lake District.
Morecambe Bay
Observe the vast intertidal sandflats and mudflats of the Lancashire coast to the south.
Castletown
Glimpse the historic capital of the Isle of Man and Castle Rushen during the final approach.
Choose a seat behind the wing to get an unobstructed view of Windermere. For morning flights, this side will have better lighting as the sun is in the southeast. During descent, look for the Langness Peninsula extending into the Irish Sea.
