BZG β STN
Which side of the plane to sit from Bydgoszcz Ignacy Jan Paderewski Airport (Bydgoszcz) to London Stansted Airport (London)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of coastal geography, major European ports, and the unique patterns of the Frisian Islands during the North Sea crossing.
Szczecin Lagoon
The large estuarine lagoon shared by Poland and Germany near the Baltic Sea.
Port of Hamburg
One of the world's largest container ports visible as you cross Northern Germany.
Frisian Islands
The stunning chain of islands along the Dutch and German coast surrounded by the Wadden Sea.
North Sea Crossing
A vast expanse of sea often dotted with offshore wind farms and shipping lanes.
Suffolk Heritage Coast
The scenic arrival over the UK coastline, featuring the beaches and cliffs of East Anglia.
The right side is the clear winner for maritime enthusiasts. During morning flights, the sun is behind the aircraft, providing perfect illumination of the Wadden Sea's tidal flats and the North Frisian Islands. Keep your eyes peeled for massive offshore wind farms near the UK coast, which look particularly impressive from high altitude.
PoznaΕ Urban Area
Clear views of one of Poland's oldest and largest cities shortly after takeoff.
Harz Mountains
The northernmost mountain range in Germany visible in the far distance to the south.
Dutch Polder Landscapes
The intricate reclaimed land and canal systems of the Netherlands as you approach the coast.
Thames Estuary
The massive waterway leading into London, often filled with large cargo vessels.
London Skyline
If the approach pattern takes you south of Stansted, the Shard and O2 Arena are visible on the horizon.
Choose the left side for better lighting during sunset flights to avoid direct glare. This side is also preferable if the wind requires a southern approach into Stansted, potentially offering a glimpse of the London skyline in the distance. Watch for the change from the forested areas of Poland to the industrial heart of Northern Germany.
