Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The Left Side is superior for this route as it offers the most dramatic views of Mallorca's rugged west coast upon departure, the western ridges of the Pyrenees, and the scenic Welsh coastline and Snowdonia mountains during the descent into Liverpool.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
⛰️

Serra de Tramuntana

Dramatic views of Mallorca's UNESCO World Heritage mountain range and the steep cliffs of the northwest coast immediately after takeoff.

🏔️

Western Pyrenees

Aerial perspective of the high peaks separating Spain and France, often snow-capped during winter and spring months.

🌊

Bay of Biscay

Sweeping views of the French Atlantic coastline, including the rugged shores of Brittany and the Vendée region.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Snowdonia (Eryri)

Spectacular views of the highest peaks in Wales, including Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), as the flight crosses the Bristol Channel toward the north.

⚓

River Mersey & Wirral

Final approach views of the Wirral Peninsula and the expansive Mersey Estuary before touching down at John Lennon Airport.

Sit on the left for evening flights to enjoy a spectacular sunset over the Atlantic and the Bay of Biscay. Keep your camera ready in the first 10 minutes for the Mallorcan coastline and approximately 40 minutes into the flight for the Pyrenees crossing. During the descent, watch for the distinctive silhouette of the Welsh mountains.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Barcelona Skyline

If the flight path hugs the coast, you can spot the Sagrada Família and the dense urban grid of Barcelona across the Balearic Sea.

🏰

Loire Valley

View the winding 'Garden of France' with potential glimpses of historic châteaux and sprawling vineyards in central France.

🌳

The Cotswolds

Characteristic English countryside views with rolling green hills and honey-colored stone villages as you enter UK airspace.

🚜

Cheshire Plain

The patchwork quilt of agricultural land in Cheshire, dotted with historic estates like Jodrell Bank Observatory.

🏟️

Liverpool Cityscape

A view of the city’s skyline, the iconic Liver Building, and potentially the football stadiums if the approach pattern circles from the north.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It provides a better perspective of the English Midlands and the dense urban sprawl of the Northwest. If the pilot performs a standard approach from the north, you may get an excellent view of the Liverpool docks and city center.
