Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers spectacular views of the Baltic Sea coastline and the unique Hel Peninsula during the descent into Gdansk, providing a more diverse landscape than the southern inland views.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏭

Ruhr District Horizon

Immediately after takeoff, view the dense industrial landscape and urban sprawl of the Ruhr area fading to the west.

🌊

Baltic Sea Coastline

As the plane heads northeast, enjoy views of the German and Polish Baltic coasts, featuring sandy beaches and coastal lagoons.

🏖️

Hel Peninsula

The most iconic sight on this route—a 35km long sandbar separating the Bay of Puck from the open Baltic Sea.

⚓

Port of Gdynia

A clear view of the massive cranes and shipping infrastructure of Gdynia's modern commercial harbor.

⛵

Puck Bay

The shallow, turquoise waters of the bay, often dotted with windsurfers and small sailing vessels.

Seat yourself on the left for the approach into GDN. If the aircraft lands from the west, you will get an unparalleled view of the Hel Peninsula sandbar. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the coastline without glare.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏟️

Signal Iduna Park

Depending on the takeoff direction, catch a glimpse of Germany's largest football stadium right in Dortmund.

🏙️

Berlin Skyline

On clear days, the distant silhouette of Berlin and the TV Tower can be seen to the south as you transit northern Germany.

🌲

Drawsko Lake District

View the lush greenery and numerous glacial lakes of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship in Poland.

🏰

Gdansk Old Town

During the final approach, look for the red-brick St. Mary's Church and the historic Crane over the Motława River.

🌊

Vistula River Delta

Observe the intricate network of canals and the mouth of Poland's longest river as it enters the sea.

The right side is excellent for seeing the historic center of Gdansk during the final moments of flight. Choose this side for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Polish countryside. Keep an eye out for the Teutonic castles scattered across northern Poland.
