North Sea Oil Rigs
Occasional sightings of deep-sea drilling platforms during the crossing from Norway to England.
The Wash
View the large rectangular bay between Norfolk and Lincolnshire, famous for its salt marshes and wildlife.
Home Counties Greenery
Lush aerial views of the rural landscapes of Cambridgeshire and the rolling hills of Hertfordshire.
Windsor Castle
If the plane approaches from the East and lands towards the West, you may spot the royal residence just before touchdown.
The right side is better for those who prefer the tranquility of the English countryside. On clear days during winter, the low sun from the south can create long, dramatic shadows over the landscape. If the airport is using an Easterly approach, this side may offer better views of the Windsor area.
