The Irish Midlands
A vibrant green tapestry of farmland and peat bogs stretching across central Ireland.
Dublin City & Bay
On clear days, the Irish capital and the distinctive Poolbeg chimneys are visible to the north.
Great Orme & Llandudno
The prominent limestone headland and Victorian seaside resort on the North Wales coast.
The Wirral Peninsula
Deep green spaces and suburban clusters between the River Dee and the River Mersey.
Liverpool Waterfront
Unrivaled views of the Three Graces, Royal Albert Dock, and the city's football stadiums on final approach.
Sit on the left for the 'Money Shot' of the Liverpool skyline. Since this is an eastbound flight, evening flights offer great lighting on the city as the sun sets behind you. If the plane lands on Runway 27, you will fly past the city and loop back, giving you a second look at the urban landscape.

Wicklow Mountains
Rugged, dark peaks visible to the south as you transition from the Irish mainland to the sea.
Snowdonia (Eryri)
The dramatic peaks of the Welsh Highlands, including Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), the highest point in Wales.
Holyhead & Anglesey
The bustling ferry port and the rocky southern coastline of the Isle of Anglesey.
River Mersey Estuary
The wide, silty waters of the Mersey opening into the Irish Sea, filled with container ships.
