Which side of the plane to sit from Venice Marco Polo Airport (Venice) to Newcastle Airport (Newcastle)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the dramatic Dolomites in Italy and a better perspective of the English coastline and industrial landmarks during the final approach into Newcastle.
The Dolomites
Dramatic, jagged limestone peaks and high-altitude meadows of the Italian Alps shortly after departure.
Lake Constance
The massive expanse of water where the borders of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet.
Rotterdam Port
A vast view of the industrial infrastructure and massive container ships at Europe's largest port.
Norfolk Coastline
Beautiful views of the sandy beaches and nature reserves along the East Anglian coast.
Angel of the North
The iconic Antony Gormley sculpture is often visible during the final banking turn into NCL airport.
Tyne Bridges
The historic bridges connecting Gateshead and Newcastle as the plane aligns with the runway.
Morning flights offer the best lighting for the Dolomites. As you approach Newcastle, this side usually provides a stunning view of the coastline and the River Tyne. Look for the colorful beach huts of the Northumberland coast if the flight path tracks slightly north.
Venice Lagoon
Panoramic view of the historic city center, the Lido, and the winding canals immediately after takeoff.
Swiss Alps
Glaciated peaks and deep valleys of the Pennine Alps, often including glimpses of the Matterhorn in clear weather.
Champagne Region
The rolling vineyards and geometric agricultural patterns of Northeastern France.
The English Channel
Looking down at the busy shipping lanes and the white cliffs near Dover as you cross into UK airspace.
The Peak District
The rugged moorlands and green dales of Northern England's famous national park during descent.
Sit behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the Venice lagoon. On evening flights, this side catches the sunset over the French countryside. Keep an eye out for the distinct grid of the Humber Bridge as you cross into Yorkshire.
