Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior perspective of the South Coast's iconic landmarks, including a full view of the Isle of Wight and the dramatic cliffs of Jersey's northern coastline upon approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

London Horizon

Depending on the flight path, the distant cluster of skyscrapers in the City and Canary Wharf can be spotted.

🌳

The South Downs

Stunning views of the rolling green chalk hills stretching across Sussex and Hampshire.

🏝️

Isle of Wight

An incredible overhead view of the entire island, including the Solent and Cowes.

🕯️

The Needles

The famous trio of white chalk stacks rising out of the sea at the western tip of the Isle of Wight.

🐚

Jersey North Coast

Dramatic views of rugged cliffs and hidden coves like Plemont as the plane aligns with the runway.

🌊

Channel Islands Panorama

Look for Guernsey, Sark, and Herm appearing as small jewels in the turquoise water to the west.

The right side is essential for the iconic 'Needles' view. For photography, use a fast shutter speed to capture the Jersey cliffs during the rapid descent. During afternoon flights, the sun will be behind you, providing perfectly lit landscapes of the South Coast.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏰

Norwich Cathedral

Visible shortly after takeoff, the 900-year-old spire dominates the Norwich skyline.

🌊

Thames Estuary

Broad views of the shipping lanes and the expansive meeting point of the Thames and the North Sea.

🏗️

Portsmouth & Spinnaker Tower

Clear views of the historic naval dockyards and the distinctive sail-shaped landmark.

🇫🇷

Normandy Coastline

On clear days, the distant French coast around Cherbourg is visible across the English Channel.

🏖️

St Helier Harbor

As you descend into Jersey, look for the capital city and its busy maritime infrastructure.

Sit on the left if you want to catch glimpses of the French coast during the mid-flight crossing. Early morning flights offer the best lighting on the English coastline, avoiding the direct glare of the sun which will be to the south/east.
