GDN → DSA
Which side of the plane to sit from Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport (Gdansk) to Robin Hood Doncaster Sheffield Airport (Doncaster, Sheffield)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the coastal geography, starting with the unique Hel Peninsula in Poland and concluding with the dramatic Humber Estuary and Humber Bridge during the descent into South Yorkshire.
Hel Peninsula
The striking 35km long sandbar separating the Bay of Puck from the Baltic Sea shortly after takeoff.
Frisian Islands
A beautiful chain of islands along the Dutch and German coasts surrounded by the Wadden Sea.
North Sea Wind Farms
Massive offshore renewable energy arrays with hundreds of turbines visible in the clear sea waters.
Humber Estuary
The wide, muddy expanse where the Trent and Ouse rivers meet the North Sea.
Humber Bridge
A spectacular view of this iconic suspension bridge connecting East Riding of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.
The right side is essential for maritime enthusiasts. On clear days, the transition from the Baltic to the North Sea offers distinct color changes in the water. During descent, the Humber Bridge is a primary landmark; try to time your window-watching for the last 15 minutes of the flight. Note that DSA (Doncaster Sheffield) is currently closed to commercial traffic, so check if your flight is rerouted to LBA or EMA.
Bydgoszcz & Toruń
Aerial perspectives of these historic Kuyavian-Pomeranian cities early in the flight.
Berlin Metropolitan Area
Views of the sprawling German capital's northern outskirts and urban glow.
Randstad Region
Distant views of the densely populated urban belt of the Netherlands including Amsterdam.
Rotterdam Europoort
Visuals of one of the world's largest and busiest industrial shipping ports.
Sherwood Forest Area
The green canopies of Nottinghamshire visible as the aircraft begins its final descent.
Sit on the left for better lighting during morning flights to avoid direct glare. This side is ideal for spotting urban layouts and the intricate canal networks of the Netherlands if the flight path tracks slightly south. Keep an eye out for the vast industrial landscapes of the Ruhr area in the distance.
