DTM → VNO
Which side of the plane to sit from Dortmund Airport (Dortmund) to Vilnius International Airport (Vilnius)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a scenic overview of the Northern European Plain, the distant Baltic coastline, and a potentially clear view of the Berlin metropolitan area and the Gulf of Gdańsk.
Teutoburg Forest
Shortly after takeoff from DTM, look for the long, narrow forested ridges extending across the landscape.
Berlin Skyline
On clear days, the vast urban sprawl of Germany's capital and the iconic TV Tower are visible to the north.
Szczecin Lagoon
Where the Oder River meets the Baltic Sea, creating a complex network of islands and waterways.
Gdańsk Bay
A stunning view of the Polish coastline, the Hel Peninsula, and the major port infrastructure of the Tricity area.
Baltic Horizon
During evening flights, the left side offers spectacular sunsets over the distant Baltic Sea.
Sit on the left for the best chance to spot major German cities and the Baltic coast. For morning flights, this side avoids direct sun glare. Watch for the distinct shape of the Hel Peninsula when crossing over Northern Poland.
Harz Mountains
To the south, the northernmost mountain range in Germany rises out of the plains.
Oder River Valley
The winding river marking the border between Germany and Poland, surrounded by fertile floodplains.
Masurian Lake District
A breathtaking expanse of over 2,000 lakes in northeastern Poland, shimmering like blue jewels.
Trakai Island Castle
As the plane descends toward VNO, look for this iconic red-brick fortress surrounded by Lake Galvė.
Lithuanian Forests
The final approach offers views of the dense, deep green forests that characterize the Lithuanian landscape.
The right side is ideal for nature lovers, especially for viewing the Masurian Lake District. During the final approach into Vilnius, keep your eyes peeled for Trakai Castle. In the afternoon, be aware that this side will experience direct sunlight.
