Which side of the plane to sit from London Stansted Airport (London) to Dinard-Pleurtuit-Saint-Malo Airport (Dinard)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an iconic view of the London skyline shortly after takeoff and a stunning aerial approach over the historic walled city of Saint-Malo and the Emerald Coast.
Central London Skyline
Spectacular views of The Shard, Tower Bridge, and the London Eye shortly after departing Stansted.
Portsmouth & The Solent
The historic naval dockyards and the Spinnaker Tower are frequently visible to the west.
Isle of Wight
Distinctive views of the island's white chalk cliffs and the Needles before heading out over sea.
Saint-Malo Intramuros
The famous granite-walled 'corsair city' appears beautifully as the plane aligns for DNR.
Emerald Coast
The striking turquoise waters and jagged coastline of Brittany provide a dramatic finale.
For the best experience, choose a window seat forward of the wing. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you on the left, providing perfect lighting for photos of London and the Brittany coast. Check the wind direction; a northern landing approach offers the best views of the Saint-Malo bay.
East London & Docklands
Aerial views of the O2 Arena, Canary Wharf, and the winding Thames as you climb south.
The Weald of Kent
Lush green landscapes of 'The Garden of England' stretching toward the southern coast.
English Channel
The busy shipping lanes of the world's busiest waterway visible during the short crossing.
Mont-Saint-Michel
On clear days, the legendary island monastery can often be seen in the distance to the east during descent.
Sit toward the front to avoid engine heat haze. Keep a keen eye out for Mont-Saint-Michel about 10-15 minutes before landing; it appears as a small, sharp silhouette on the horizon if the flight path allows.
