Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the iconic Spurn Point sand spit and a direct line of sight to the magnificent Humber Bridge during the final approach into Humberside.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Amsterdam Canals

On northern departures, enjoy a stunning aerial view of the concentric canal rings and historic city center.

🌬️

Offshore Wind Farms

Fly directly over vast arrays of white turbines standing in the turquoise and grey waters of the North Sea.

⏳

Spurn Point

Marvel at the unique 3.5-mile long curved sand spit that narrowy separates the North Sea from the Humber.

🌉

Humber Bridge

A magnificent view of this suspension bridge, once the world's longest, spanning the wide muddy waters of the estuary.

🐟

Hull Cityfront

The 'Deep' aquarium and the historic waterfront of Kingston upon Hull are clearly visible during the descent.

Sit on the right for the most iconic geographical features. The approach into HUY often involves a turn over the estuary, providing a perfect photo opportunity of Spurn Point. In winter, early morning flights offer spectacular sunrise colors over the North Sea.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🏗️

Port of IJmuiden

View the massive sea locks and industrial gateway to the North Sea Canal shortly after takeoff.

🚢

North Sea Shipping

Spot dense concentrations of cargo vessels and tankers navigating the busy English Channel approach.

🏖️

Cleethorpes Coastline

The traditional British seaside resort and its long sandy beach are visible as the plane crosses the English coast.

🏭

Grimsby Docks

Industrial docks and the historic Dock Tower mark the entrance to the Humber Estuary.

For the best lighting on the Dutch polders and the Lincolnshire coast, choose an afternoon flight to avoid direct morning sun glare. This side is better for viewing the industrial heart of the Humber.
