The Cotswolds
Shortly after takeoff from BRS, enjoy views of the rolling green hills and honey-colored stone villages of this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Frisian Islands
A chain of islands stretching from the Netherlands to Germany, featuring unique sandbars, tidal flats, and the Wadden Sea.
Gdańsk Bay
Look for the major Polish port city of Gdańsk and the long, thin Hel Peninsula jutting into the Baltic Sea.
Curonian Spit
A 98km long, thin, curved sand-dune spit that separates the Curonian Lagoon from the Baltic Sea coast.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and enjoy the glare-free colors of the North Sea. Keep an eye out for the distinctive white sand dunes of the Curonian Spit as you cross the Lithuanian border; it is a UNESCO World Heritage site and highly visible from cruising altitude.

Bath & Bristol
Aerial perspective of the historic Roman city of Bath and the industrial heritage of Bristol immediately after departure.
London Hinterland
Depending on the ATC routing, the northern outskirts of London and the Thames Estuary are often visible in the distance.
Masurian Lake District
As you cross Northern Poland, look for the 'Land of a Thousand Lakes,' a vast area of post-glacial waterways and dense forests.
Kaunas City
On the final approach to KUN, the confluence of the Nemunas and Neris rivers near the Old Town is often visible.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. During the winter months, the Masurian Lake District on the right side looks particularly striking when the thousands of lakes are frozen and covered in snow. On approach to Kaunas, the right side often gets a better view of the city's unique layout between two major rivers.
