Hel Peninsula
A unique 35km long sandbar peninsula jutting into the Baltic Sea just after takeoff from Gdansk.
Frisian Islands
A beautiful chain of islands along the German and Dutch coasts, surrounded by the unique Wadden Sea tidal flats.
North Sea Wind Farms
Massive arrays of offshore wind turbines visible as white dots in the deep blue of the North Sea.
The Cotswolds
Rolling green hills and patchwork fields characteristic of the English countryside during the approach to Bristol.
Severn Bridges
The two massive suspension bridges connecting England and Wales are spectacular landmarks just before landing.
The right side is perfect for sunset views on evening flights. For the best view of the Hel Peninsula, look out almost immediately after takeoff if departing to the North. During the approach to Bristol, watch for the shift from the rural Cotswolds to the dramatic Severn Estuary.
