Which side of the plane to sit from Bydgoszcz Ignacy Jan Paderewski Airport (Bydgoszcz) to Birmingham International Airport (Birmingham)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior lighting for photography on this westbound route, featuring the impressive Dutch polders, massive North Sea wind farms, and the unique coastal geography of The Wash.
Vistula River Delta
The sprawling river valley north of the airport visible during the banking turn after takeoff.
IJsselmeer
The massive, shallow artificial lake in the Netherlands, distinguished by its dikes and reclaimed land.
North Sea Wind Farms
Impressive geometric patterns formed by hundreds of offshore wind turbines in the North Sea.
The Wash Estuary
The large, square-shaped bay on the east coast of England known for its dramatic tidal mudflats.
Rutland Water
One of the largest man-made lakes in Europe, serving as a key navigational landmark in the East Midlands.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the sun. It provides a clearer view of the coastal entry into the UK. Look for the distinct change from the North Sea to the bright green Fens of England.
Bydgoszcz Old Town
Immediate views of the Brda River and the historic city center during the initial climb.
Teutoburg Forest
A long, narrow range of forested hills in Lower Saxony visible during the cruise over Germany.
Enschede & Dutch Border
The transition from German forests to the tightly gridded agricultural landscape of the Netherlands.
Cambridge Cityscape
Distant views of the historic university town and its surrounding flatlands in East Anglia.
Coventry Cathedral
A prominent landmark during the final approach descent into the West Midlands.
Sit on the left for the best views of the industrial heart of the UK during descent. Be aware that afternoon flights will experience significant sun glare on this side as you fly west.
