Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior coastal views, including the unique geography of the Frisian Islands and the dramatic Baltic coastline, plus a better chance of spotting the iconic Trakai Island Castle during the approach to Vilnius.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Humber Estuary

Aerial views of the distinct Spurn Point sand spit and the industrial landscape of Hull as you depart the UK.

🏝️

Frisian Islands

The chain of Dutch and German barrier islands separated by the Wadden Sea mudflats.

🚒

Baltic Sea Coast

A long stretch of the northern Polish coastline and the prominent Hel Peninsula curving into the sea.

🏰

Trakai Island Castle

Located just west of Vilnius, this medieval castle surrounded by lakes is often visible during the final descent.

🌲

Lithuanian Woodlands

Dense green canopy of the Neris Regional Park as the aircraft enters Lithuanian airspace.

For the best visibility of the North Sea coastline, opt for a seat forward of the wing. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent lighting for photography of the Dutch and German coasts. In winter, look for sea ice in the shallow bays of the Baltic.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌾

Lincolnshire Fens

The perfectly flat, geometric patchwork of agricultural fields in eastern England.

πŸ™οΈ

Randstad Distant View

On clear days, the urban sprawl of Amsterdam and Utrecht can be seen to the south over the Netherlands.

🌲

Polish Forests

Deep green expanses of the Drawsko and Noteć forests in western Poland.

🏞️

Masurian Lake District

Glittering reflections from thousands of glacial lakes scattered across northeastern Poland.

β›ͺ

Vilnius Old Town

The red-tiled roofs and baroque steeples of the UNESCO-listed city center during the banking turn for landing.

The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the European continent. Keep your camera ready as you cross Poland, as the sunlight reflects brilliantly off the Masurian Lakes. Sit away from the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Vilnius skyline during the final approach.
