TIP โ MAN
Which side of the plane to sit from Tripoli International Airport (Tripoli) to Manchester Airport (Manchester)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Mediterranean islands, the distant French Alps, and a clearer perspective of major European hubs like Paris and the scenic Peak District during the descent into Manchester.
Sardinia and Corsica
Direct views of the mountainous terrain and turquoise coastlines of these two iconic Mediterranean islands.
French Alps
The snow-capped peaks of the Western Alps are often visible on the eastern horizon while cruising over France.
Parisian Basin
A wide-angle view of the sprawling Paris metropolitan area, including the distant Eiffel Tower if visibility is high.
English Channel
Watch the busy shipping lanes and the white cliffs of the southern UK coast as you enter British airspace.
Peak District
Dramatic views of the rolling green hills and limestone valleys of the Peak District during the descent into Manchester.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct glare. It provides the most consistent landmarks, including the best chance to see Paris. On the final approach to Manchester, the right side often looks directly over the Manchester city center and the Etihad Stadium.
Mediterranean Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue Mediterranean Sea immediately after departing the Libyan coastline.
Balearic Vistas
On clear days, the distant silhouettes of Mallorca and Menorca can be seen to the far west.
Loire Valley
Aerial views of the winding Loire River and the historic chรขteaux scattered throughout central France.
Brittany Coast
The rugged western coastline of France as the aircraft prepares for the English Channel crossing.
Liverpool Bay
During the final approach, look west for views of the Mersey Estuary and the Liverpool skyline.
Choose the left side for sunset flights to catch the orange glow over the Atlantic. During the standard landing patterns for runway 23R, the left side provides the best views of the Cheshire plains and the Welsh hills in the distance.
