Cardiff Bay

The Senedd, Millennium Centre, and the redeveloped docklands visible on final approach.

Best for morning flights to avoid the glare of the sun. On departure, watch for the shift from volcanic rock to lush pine forests. On arrival, stay alert as you cross the Bristol Channel for the iconic Severn bridges and the Cardiff city skyline.
