Right Side Highlights

🌉

Bristol Channel

The wide estuary and the bridges connecting England and Wales are clearly visible.

🎡

Greater London

A panoramic view of the Thames, the City, and iconic landmarks like the Shard.

🚢

English Channel

Watch the world's busiest shipping lanes filled with cargo ships and ferries.

🏰

The Ardennes

The rolling, forested hills of Belgium and Luxembourg provide a lush green backdrop.

⛰️

Sudetes Mountains

The scenic mountain range along the Polish-Czech border appears during the descent into Wroclaw.

For the best experience, book an evening flight to see the lights of London and the sunset over the Channel. Keep your camera ready roughly 45 minutes into the flight for the London skyline. During descent, look south to spot the highest peaks of the Karkonosze range.
