Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the English Channel crossing, the rugged coastline of Cornwall, and the iconic white cliffs of Normandy.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏝️

Cornish Coast

Distant views of the tip of Cornwall and potentially the Isles of Scilly.

🚢

English Channel

One of the world's busiest shipping lanes, often filled with ferries and cargo ships.

☁️

Normandy Cliffs

The dramatic white chalk cliffs along the Alabaster Coast near Le Havre.

🌊

Seine Estuary

Where the Seine River meets the sea, marking the entrance to inland France.

⛪

Beauvais Cathedral

The towering Gothic structure visible during the final descent into BVA.

Choose the right side for sunset flights to witness the sun dipping over the Atlantic. This side provides the best views of the English Channel crossing. Keep your eyes peeled for the distinct white cliffs of the French coast as you cross the water.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
☘️

Shannon Estuary

Aerial view of Ireland's longest river system emptying into the Atlantic.

⚓

Cork Coastline

Glimpses of the rugged southern Irish coast and the outskirts of Cork Harbor.

🌊

Celtic Sea

The deep blue transition zone between the Irish Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.

🏖️

Dieppe Coastline

The first sightings of the French mainland near the port city of Dieppe.

🏰

Picardy Plains

Rolling farmland and historic rural landscapes of Northern France.

Sit on the left for softer light during morning departures, which highlights the lush green landscape of rural Ireland. This side is better for seeing the sprawling Shannon estuary immediately after takeoff if the wind is from the west.
