Our Recommendation
7.4

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the dramatic transition from the English coast to the North Sea, followed by the unique geography of the Wadden Sea islands and the sprawling northern German plains.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🌊

Humber Estuary

Upon departure, observe the industrial ports and the iconic Spurn Point sand spit where the River Humber meets the North Sea.

🏝️

Frisian Islands

View the stunning chain of Dutch and German barrier islands, including Texel and Terschelling, surrounded by intricate tidal flats.

🚢

Elbe River & Hamburg

As you traverse Northern Germany, look for the massive shipping lanes leading toward the Port of Hamburg, often visible in the distance.

🌲

Western Polish Forests

Witness the dense, dark green canopy of the Drawsko and Barlinek-Gorzów landscape parks as the flight enters Polish territory.

🏙️

Gorzów Wielkopolski

A clear view of this major regional hub along the Warta River shortly before the descent into Poznan begins.

The left side is the 'cool' side for morning flights, as you will be facing north, away from the direct glare of the sun. This makes it much easier to photograph the Frisian Islands. In winter, look for the distinct line where the North Sea ice begins to form in the shallow Wadden Sea areas.

Right Side Highlights
6.7
🚜

Lincolnshire Fens

See the geometric precision of the UK's most productive agricultural heartland immediately after take-off.

🇳🇱

Dutch Polderlands

Observe the fascinating network of canals and reclaimed land patches that characterize the inland Netherlands.

🏢

Bremen and Hannover

Large urban clusters in Lower Saxony provide a sharp contrast to the surrounding green and yellow agricultural fields.

🏰

Potsdam Lakes

If the flight path trends slightly south, the historic palaces and interconnected lakes around Potsdam are visible south of Berlin.

⛪

Poznań City Center

On final approach, the right side often captures the colorful Renaissance architecture of the Old Market Square and the Ostrów Tumski cathedral.

The right side is excellent for city spotters. If the aircraft approaches POZ from the west, you will get a panoramic view of the city's residential districts. Be aware that on afternoon flights, the sun will be directly hitting this side of the plane, which can cause significant heat and glare through the window.
