Which side of the plane to sit from Robin Hood Doncaster Sheffield Airport (Doncaster, Sheffield) to Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport (Gdansk)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this route as it offers views of the unique Frisian Island chain and the spectacular Hel Peninsula sandbar during the final approach.
Humber Estuary
Aerial views of the massive river mouth and the busy industrial ports of Immingham and Grimsby shortly after takeoff.
Wadden Sea Islands
The UNESCO-listed chain of Frisian Islands stretching along the Dutch and German coasts, separated by intricate tidal flats.
Wilhelmshaven
Germany's only deep-water port and the distinct shape of the Jade Bight are visible on the North Sea coastline.
Hel Peninsula
A remarkably thin, 35km long sandbar that curls into the Bay of Puck, providing one of the most iconic views in Northern Europe.
Gdynia Waterfront
The modern maritime skyline of Gdynia and the cruise ship docks as the aircraft turns toward the Gdańsk runway.
For the best experience, choose a seat toward the front or far rear to avoid wing obstruction. The Hel Peninsula is the star attraction; it appears on the left roughly 10-15 minutes before landing. In the winter months, morning flights offer crisp, low-angle light that highlights the texture of the Wadden Sea sandbanks.
Lincolnshire Fens
The highly organized, geometric patterns of the English agricultural heartlands during the initial climb.
Port of Hamburg
On many flight paths, you can see the sprawling container terminals of Europe's third-busiest port along the Elbe River.
Szczecin Lagoon
The vast inland water body that straddles the border between Germany and Poland, surrounded by natural parks.
Kashubian Lake District
A scenic landscape of glacial lakes and dense forests known as 'Kashubian Switzerland' during the descent into Poland.
Gdańsk Shipyard
The historic cranes and industrial heritage of the birthplace of the Solidarity movement visible just before touchdown.
The right side is excellent for inland geography. If the flight lands toward the west (Runway 11), the right side offers a direct view of the Gdańsk Old Town and the Motława River. During summer afternoon flights, be aware that the sun will be on this side of the aircraft, which may cause glare.
