Hel Peninsula
Look back immediately after takeoff to see this unique 35km-long sandbar stretching into the Baltic Sea.
Rügen Island
Spot Germany's largest island, famous for its white chalk cliffs and Jasmund National Park.
Wadden Sea

Yorkshire Wolds

Sit on the right for the best coastal views. The Hel Peninsula is visible almost immediately if the wind is blowing from the west. During the North Sea crossing, keep an eye out for offshore gas platforms. The approach to LBA usually passes directly over the Humber, providing a spectacular view of the bridge on the right side.

Shortly after takeoff, view the dense forests and interconnected lakes of northern Poland.
Szczecin & Odra River
Cross the border into Germany with views of the industrial port city and the winding Odra.
IJsselmeer
The vast reclaimed polders and the massive inland bay of the Netherlands offer a distinct grid-like geography.
The Peak District
On final descent, look south for the rolling limestone valleys and dark gritstone moors of Derbyshire.
On morning flights, the left side is bathed in sunlight, which is great for viewing the Dutch polder landscapes. Look for the distinct wind farms in the North Sea as you approach the UK coast. For the best view of the Peak District, wait until the final 15 minutes of the flight.
