GOT β MAN
Which side of the plane to sit from Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport (Gothenborg) to Manchester Airport (Manchester)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a more iconic arrival experience, featuring the unique Spurn Point spit, the Humber Bridge, and a prime view of the Manchester city center skyline on the standard approach into Runway 23.
BohuslΓ€n Coastline
Rugged northern islands and the entrance to the Skagerrak strait visible immediately after takeoff.
Spurn Point
The distinctive, narrow sand spit at the mouth of the Humber Estuary, a major landmark for pilots.
Humber Bridge
A clear view of the massive suspension bridge spanning the Humber River near Hull.
The Pennines
The 'Backbone of England,' featuring dramatic moorlands and valleys as the plane crosses into Northern England.
Manchester Skyline
A spectacular view of the Beetham Tower and Deansgate Square skyscrapers on the final approach into MAN.
The right side is superior for the UK portion of the journey. Keep your camera ready as you cross the UK coastline to capture the Humber Estuary. On standard arrivals (Runway 23R/L), the right side provides the iconic view of Manchester's growing cluster of skyscrapers just minutes before landing.
Southern Archipelago
Panoramic views of the rocky islands and coastal villages south of Gothenburg shortly after departure.
North Sea Expanses
Deep blue waters of the Skagerrak and North Sea, with potential sightings of cargo ships and offshore wind farms.
East Anglian Coast
Distant views of the Norfolk and Lincolnshire coastlines as the aircraft approaches the United Kingdom.
Peak District
The green, rolling hills and reservoirs of the Dark Peak area during the initial descent phase.
Cheshire Plain
Lush green landscapes and suburban sprawl of south Manchester and Cheshire before touchdown.
Choose the left side for the best views of the Swedish coastline during departure. During the morning, the sun will be behind you for most of the flight, providing clear, glare-free views of the English countryside. It is particularly scenic if the flight path tracks south over the Peak District.
