Which side of the plane to sit from Birmingham International Airport (Birmingham) to Bydgoszcz Ignacy Jan Paderewski Airport (Bydgoszcz)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a clearer view of the coastal transitions and the stunning Frisian Islands chain without direct sun interference.
Norfolk Coastline
Striking views of the English coast as you transition over the North Sea.
Wadden Sea Islands
A unique perspective of the Dutch and German Frisian islands and sandbars.
Elbe Estuary
Large container ships and the vast mouth of the river leading to Hamburg.
Mecklenburg Lakes
A mosaic of hundreds of small lakes across the northern German plains.
Baltic Horizon
Distant views of the Baltic Sea coast near the German-Polish border.
Opt for the left side on afternoon flights to avoid sun glare. The highlight is the Wadden Sea; the patterns of the tides and sandbanks are world-class. Keep your camera ready about 40 minutes after takeoff for the Dutch coast.
Birmingham Center
Excellent views of the city's iconic architecture immediately after takeoff.
The Fens
Distinctive flat, reclaimed agricultural lands with geometric drainage patterns.
Groningen
Clear urban layout of this major northern Dutch city if the path is southerly.
Oder River
The wide, winding river that forms the natural border between Germany and Poland.
Vistula Delta
Rich agricultural plains of the Kuyavian-Pomeranian region on final approach.
The right side is best for seeing the departure over Birmingham. Be aware that on midday flights, the sun will be directly on this side, which can make photography difficult. Look for the distinctive grid patterns of the English countryside early in the flight.
