Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the rolling French countryside, the Loire Valley's estates, and a better angle for the historic city of Chester during the final approach into Hawarden.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🌋

Massif Central

Views of the ancient volcanic domes and rugged plateaus of central-southern France shortly after takeoff.

🏰

Loire Valley

The 'Garden of France' featuring a network of winding rivers and the sprawling estates of historic chateaux.

🗼

Paris Basin

Depending on visibility, the distant urban sprawl and landmarks of the French capital may be visible to the east.

🧱

Historic Chester

Excellent views of the Roman walls, the River Dee, and the red-sandstone cathedral on the descent into Hawarden.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct glare. It provides a much clearer view of the English Midlands and the historic architecture of Chester. During descent, look for the 'Roodee' racecourse right before landing.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🌊

Atlantic Horizon

Distant views of the Bay of Biscay and the rugged western coastline of France as you head north.

⚓

Brittany Peninsula

A clear view of the jagged cliffs and deep inlets of the Armorican Massif in western France.

⛰️

Snowdonia National Park

Dramatic silhouettes of the Welsh mountains, including Yr Wyddfa, visible as you cross into the UK.

Choose this side for evening flights to witness spectacular sunsets over the Atlantic. In the final phase, keep an eye out for the Menai Strait and the Great Orme if the flight path swings wide over the Irish Sea.
