⛳

Old Head of Kinsale

Spot the iconic lighthouse and world-famous golf course on this narrow, rugged Irish headland.

📍

Land's End

The southwesternmost point of England with its dramatic granite cliffs and crashing Atlantic waves.

⚓

Plymouth Sound

The historic naval city of Plymouth and the lush greenery of the Rame Peninsula in Cornwall.

🕯️

Corbière Lighthouse

One of the most photographed landmarks in Jersey, visible on the final approach over the sea.

🏝️

Sark and Herm

Pristine views of the smaller, car-free Channel Islands just before landing at Jersey Airport.

Ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Celtic Sea. This side offers the most dramatic views of the English coastline and the Channel Islands descent. Keep your camera ready for the Corbière Lighthouse during the final two minutes of the flight.

🚢

Cork Harbour

Marvel at one of the world's largest natural harbors during the initial climb out of Ireland.

🌊

St George's Channel

A deep blue expanse separating the Celtic Sea from the Irish Sea visible during the mid-flight cruise.

🏔️

North Devon Coast

High cliffs and the rolling hills of Exmoor National Park visible on the horizon to the north.

🏝️

Best for midday flights to avoid the sun's glare from the south. Watch closely during departure from Cork as the plane often banks over the harbor, providing excellent views of the city and industrial docks.
