Search flights from NOC to BRS
Wicklow Mountains
Stunning views of the granite peaks and glacial valleys of the largest continuous upland area in Ireland.
Dublin City Panorama
As the flight heads southeast, you get an expansive view of the Liffey, the docks, and the suburban sprawl of the capital.
Severn Estuary Islands
Direct views of Flat Holm and Steep Holm, the two distinctive limestone islands sitting in the middle of the Bristol Channel.
Weston-super-Mare
The famous Grand Pier and the massive tidal range of the Bristol Channel are clearly visible during the final descent.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct glare while viewing the Irish coast. Look out for the 'Muglins' lighthouse near Dalkey as you leave the Irish coast. During the final approach, watch for the steep limestone cliffs of the Mendip Hills appearing to the south.

Knock Shrine
Visible shortly after takeoff, the sprawling grounds of this major international pilgrimage site are clearly identifiable.
Cardiff Skyline
A great view of the Welsh capital, including the Principality Stadium and the revitalized Cardiff Bay area.
Severn Bridges
The M4 and M48 bridges spanning the Severn Estuary appear as thin ribbons of engineering connecting Wales and England.
Gower Peninsula
The rugged cliffs and sandy bays of the UK's first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty are often visible to the north.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. This side is particularly rewarding during evening flights when the sun sets to the west, illuminating the Welsh coast in golden light. Keep an eye out for the distinctive Millennium Stadium as you pass Cardiff.
