AAR → STN
Which side of the plane to sit from Aarhus Airport (Aarhus) to London Stansted Airport (London)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of Aarhus city shortly after takeoff and provides a better perspective of the English coastline near The Wash and the historic university city of Cambridge during the descent.
Aarhus Cityscape
A fantastic aerial view of the ARoS Rainbow Panorama and the Aarhus harbor right after departure.
Jutland Landscape
The patchwork of Danish agricultural fields and coastal dunes as the plane crosses the peninsula.
The Wash
The large, square-shaped bay on the East Anglian coast, known for its salt marshes and wildlife.
Cambridge University
Spot the historic colleges and the distinctive Chapel of King's College if the flight path tracks west.
Essex Countryside
The rolling green hills and traditional English villages surrounding Stansted Airport during final approach.
Sit on the right for the best sunset views over the North Sea during evening flights. During the descent into Stansted, look for the 'H'-shaped footprint of the airport's iconic Lord Foster-designed terminal if the plane circles before landing.
Kattegat Sea
Vast blue expanses of the sea connecting the Baltic and North Seas during the initial climb.
Great Belt Bridge
On clear days, the distant silhouette of one of the world's longest suspension bridges to the southeast.
North Sea Transit
Aerial views of busy international shipping lanes with massive cargo vessels and tankers.
Suffolk Heritage Coast
The picturesque English coastline featuring seaside towns like Southwold and Aldeburgh upon arrival.
The Broads
A glimpse of the unique network of navigable rivers and lakes in Norfolk during the approach.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep an eye out for wind farms in the North Sea, which look like tiny white dots arranged in grids. On arrival, this side often sees the coast first.
