Search flights from NOC to LPL
Central Irish Midlands
The lush green patchwork of fields and bogs characterizing the heart of Ireland.
Dublin Distance View
Look south as you leave the Irish coast to see the sprawl of the capital and the Wicklow Mountains.
Snowdonia National Park
Dramatic views of the highest peaks in Wales as the flight crosses the Irish Sea toward the Wirral.
The Wirral Peninsula
A clear view of the beaches at West Kirby and the residential sprawl between the Dee and Mersey.
River Mersey Estuary
The iconic waterway leading directly to the runway, featuring the Runcorn bridges and Liverpool skyline.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the Welsh mountains and the Mersey. Watch for the Hilbre Islands off the Wirral coast during the initial descent phase. This side is consistently better for the final approach into John Lennon Airport.

Irish Sea Crossing
The deep blue expanse separating the islands, often dotted with ferry traffic.
Blackpool Coastline
On clear days, the Blackpool Tower and the Fylde coast are visible to the northeast.
Port of Liverpool
The massive container terminals and historic northern docklands during the final descent.
Sit on the left for views of the Lake District mountains in the far distance on exceptionally clear days. Morning flights provide better light on the Irish landscape without glare, while the northern docks are best seen during a Runway 27 approach.
