DSA β KTW
Which side of the plane to sit from Robin Hood Doncaster Sheffield Airport (Doncaster, Sheffield) to Katowice International Airport (Katowice)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of English rural landscapes, views of the Harz mountains in Germany, and the dramatic industrial terrain of the Silesian Highlands during descent.
Lincolnshire Wolds
Rolling green hills and the historic cathedral city of Lincoln visible shortly after departure.
Randstad Conurbation
Distant views of the densely populated Dutch metropolitan areas including Amsterdam and Utrecht.
Harz Mountains
The northernmost mountain range in Germany, featuring dense forests and the prominent Brocken peak.
Upper Silesian Industry
A fascinating look at the coal mines, cooling towers, and industrial heritage of the Katowice region.
Beskids Range
In the distance during descent, the northern peaks of the Beskid mountains may be visible to the south.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the German highlands. Pay close attention during the last 20 minutes of the flight; the industrial landscape of the Silesian Metropolis is uniquely dense and impressive from the air.
Humber Estuary
A clear view of the Spurn Point sand spit and the busy shipping lanes heading into the North Sea.
North Sea Wind Farms
Massive offshore renewable energy clusters visible as white dots against the blue water.
West Frisian Islands
The unique chain of barrier islands off the coast of the Netherlands and the Wadden Sea.
Lower Saxony Plains
Expansive views of Northern German agriculture and the outskirts of major cities like Bremen.
WrocΕaw Skyline
On clear days, the 'Venice of Poland' is visible with its numerous bridges and the Odra River.
Sit on this side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. The North Sea crossing is particularly scenic in early light when the wind farms are illuminated. Keep a lookout for the Dutch coastline approximately 40 minutes after takeoff.
