Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels Airport (Brussels) to Vilnius International Airport (Vilnius)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the industrial Ruhr valley, historic Polish cities like Poznań, and the stunning Masurian Lake District shortly before entering Lithuanian airspace.
The Ruhr Valley
A massive industrial and urban cluster in Germany, featuring cities like Dortmund and Essen.
Poznań
Aerial view of the historic Polish city, known for its colorful market square and the Warta River.
Masurian Lake District
A spectacular view of thousands of post-glacial lakes in Northeastern Poland, especially vibrant in summer.
Vilnius Old Town
If landing from the north, the right side provides a stunning view of the red-tiled roofs and baroque steeples.
The Masurian Lakes are the star attraction; they appear about 30-40 minutes before landing. For late afternoon flights, the right side will be in the shade, providing excellent conditions for photography without window reflections.
Brussels Suburbs
Clear views of the dense urban sprawl and the Atomium structure shortly after takeoff from Zaventem.
Lower Saxon Plains
The flat, agricultural heartland of Northern Germany with neat patchworks of fields and wind farms.
Baltic Horizon
On clear days, the distant blue line of the Baltic Sea coastline is visible near the German-Polish border.
Lithuanian Taiga
Deep green expanses of the Labanoras Regional Park and surrounding forests as the plane begins its descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. If the flight path is northerly, you might catch a glimpse of the Curonian Spit far in the distance as you approach the Baltic states.
