Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers the most iconic views, including a stunning departure over Edinburgh's historic skyline and a scenic approach into Kaunas showcasing the city's river confluence and Old Town.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏰

Edinburgh City

Exceptional views of the Castle, Arthur's Seat, and the historic Old Town during the initial climb.

🌉

Forth Bridges

A bird's-eye view of the iconic UNESCO World Heritage rail bridge and the modern Queensferry Crossing.

🏖️

North Frisian Islands

The unique archipelago along the German coast, featuring distinct sandy shoals and tidal flats.

🌆

Kaunas Confluence

Dramatic views of the Nemunas and Neris rivers meeting near the Kaunas Old Town during the final descent.

🌳

Lithuanian Countryside

The lush, green landscape of Central Lithuania dotted with traditional farmsteads and dense forests.

Secure a seat on the right for the best photographic opportunities of Edinburgh. During the descent into Kaunas, the right side usually provides a better angle of the city center. Be aware that this side will be in direct sunlight for most of the flight, so keep the window shade partially down if flying at midday.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Fife Coastline

Direct views of the northern shores of the Firth of Forth and the seaside towns of Fife immediately after takeoff.

🇩🇰

Jutland Peninsula

A clear view of the Danish western coast and the expansive wind farms scattered across the North Sea.

🏝️

Bornholm Island

The rugged Danish island located in the Baltic Sea, often visible as the flight transitions toward the Baltic states.

🚢

Klaipėda Coast

On a northern approach, you may see the Curonian Spit and the major Lithuanian port of Klaipėda.

Sit on the left for softer lighting during daytime flights as the sun remains to the south. This side is superior for observing the transition from the North Sea into the Baltic Sea, especially during long summer sunsets when the horizon stays bright for hours.
