Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the Dutch coastline and the iconic Severn Bridges during the final approach into Bristol.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌆

Wroclaw Panorama

Aerial view of the 'Venice of Poland' with its many bridges and the Oder River shortly after takeoff.

⚓

Rotterdam Port

The massive industrial scale of Europe's largest seaport is clearly visible as the flight crosses the North Sea coast.

🏖️

Zeeland Islands

The intricate network of islands and dams in the southwestern Netherlands creates a unique geometric landscape.

🌉

Severn Bridges

Spectacular views of the M4 and M48 bridges connecting England and Wales over the Severn Estuary.

🏘️

Bristol City Center

If the plane approaches from the north, you will see the colorful houses of Clifton and the floating harbor.

The right side is the clear winner for coastal geography. As the aircraft descends into Bristol, you get an unparalleled view of the Severn Estuary's massive tidal range. Choose this side for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Atlantic horizon as you approach the UK.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
⛰️

Sudetes Mountains

Visible shortly after departure, looking south toward the border between Poland and the Czech Republic.

🏙️

Frankfurt am Main

In clear weather, the dense skyline and busy airport hub are visible as you cross central Germany.

🌊

English Channel Coast

Panoramic views of the northern French coastline and the busy shipping lanes of the Channel.

🏛️

City of Bath

During the descent, look out for the distinctive honey-colored stone architecture of this UNESCO World Heritage site.

🌄

Mendip Hills

Lush green rolling hills and limestone gorges of Somerset appearing just before landing.

Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights as the sun remains mostly behind or above the plane. Keep an eye out for the historic city of Bath during the final minutes of flight, as it often appears on this side during standard approach patterns from the east.
