Gulf of Gdańsk
Excellent views of the Baltic coast and the Hel Peninsula shortly after takeoff from GDN.
West Frisian Islands
See the distinct string of Dutch islands like Texel and Terschelling as you cross the Netherlands.
North Sea Wind Farms
Look down at massive offshore wind arrays near the UK-Dutch maritime border.
East Anglian Coast
Clear views of the Suffolk coastline, including towns like Southwold and the Sizewell power station.
Cambridge
On the descent, you may spot the historic university city of Cambridge to the North.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Polish coast during departure. This side is also preferred for seeing the sunset on evening flights. When approaching Luton, if the plane tracks south of the airport before landing, you might catch a distant glimpse of the London skyline in the distance.

Kashubian Lake District
Beautiful forested areas and numerous glacial lakes visible south of Gdańsk.
Port of Rotterdam
On very clear days, the massive industrial scale of the Europoort is visible to the South.
North Sea Crossing
An expansive view of the heavy maritime shipping lanes between the continent and the UK.
Hertfordshire Countryside
The green, rolling hills and quaint English villages during the final approach into Luton.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It provides a better perspective of the Polish interior and the sprawling landscapes of Northern Germany and the Netherlands before the North Sea crossing. Watch for the change in landscape from the flat polders to the wooded hills of England.
