Which side of the plane to sit from Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport (Gdansk) to Edinburgh Airport (Edinburgh)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior experience, particularly during the descent into Edinburgh. Passengers can enjoy views of the Danish islands during the cruise and a spectacular approach over the Fife coastline and the iconic Firth of Forth bridges before landing.

Danish Archipelago
Clear views of islands like Møn, Lolland, and the southern tip of the Jutland Peninsula.
North Sea Wind Farms
Massive offshore renewable energy installations visible as geometric patterns on the water.
St Andrews & Fife
The 'Home of Golf' and the picturesque East Neuk fishing villages along the Fife coast.
Firth of Forth Bridges
The world-famous Forth Bridge (UNESCO site), Forth Road Bridge, and Queensferry Crossing during the final approach.
Edinburgh Skyline
Glimpses of Arthur's Seat and Edinburgh Castle if the aircraft loops north for a Runway 24 landing.
The right side is essential for the iconic 'Forth Bridge' view. On a standard approach to Runway 24, the plane flies parallel to the bridges; choose a window seat forward of the wing for the best photo angle. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting on the Scottish coast, while morning flights may experience some glare over the North Sea.

Pomeranian Coastline
Aerial views of the Baltic beaches and the Szczecin Lagoon as the flight leaves Polish airspace.
Northern German Plains
Vast agricultural landscapes and potential glimpses of cities like Hamburg or Bremen depending on the air corridor.
Wadden Sea
The unique intertidal zones and sandbanks along the Dutch and German coasts.
Yorkshire Coastline
Glimpses of the rugged English coast near Whitby or the North York Moors as the plane transits the North Sea.
The Cheviot Hills
Rolling green landscapes marking the border between England and Scotland during the final stage of flight.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights, as the sun will be behind the aircraft or to the south. This side is better for observing the transition from the European mainland to the British Isles, though you may miss the most famous Scottish landmarks during the final descent.
