DND β STN
Which side of the plane to sit from Dundee Airport (Dundee) to London Stansted Airport (London)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the historic Tay bridges immediately upon departure, followed by a panoramic perspective of the Scottish and English countryside, including the distant Edinburgh skyline and the magnificent Lincoln Cathedral.
Tay Rail Bridge
An incredible aerial view of the iconic Victorian structure crossing the Tay immediately after takeoff.
Edinburgh Skyline
On clear days, the silhouette of Edinburgh Castle and Arthur's Seat can be seen to the southwest.
North York Moors
Dramatic views of the national park's rolling hills and heather moorland during the mid-flight cruise.
Lincoln Cathedral
One of the most impressive landmarks on this route, standing tall on a limestone ridge above the flat plains.
Cambridge University
As you begin your descent, the historic colleges and greenery of the university city are often visible.
The right side is essential for the best departure views of Dundeeβs waterfront. For late afternoon flights, this side will experience the golden hour glow over the English countryside, making the brickwork of Lincoln and Cambridge appear vibrant.
Firth of Tay
Expansive views of the North Sea estuary and the coastal sandbanks during the initial climb.
St Andrews
The world-famous 'Home of Golf' with its historic links and university buildings visible on the Fife coast.
Farne Islands
A group of rocky islands off the Northumberland coast known for diverse birdlife and seals.
Humber Bridge
A massive suspension bridge spanning the Humber Estuary, particularly striking from high altitude.
East Anglian Fens
The distinct geometric patterns of the low-lying agricultural drainage systems as you approach Essex.
Sit on the left for morning flights to see the sun rising over the North Sea. Keep an eye out for the Bell Rock Lighthouse, the world's oldest surviving sea-washed lighthouse, if the flight path takes a wide easterly turn over the water.
