Which side of the plane to sit from Kraków John Paul II International Airport (Krakow) to Edinburgh Airport (Edinburgh)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior scenic experience, featuring the stunning Wadden Sea tidal flats and a dramatic coastal approach over the Northumberland shore and the iconic Bass Rock.
Warta River Valley
Meandering river loops and green floodplains near Poznań in Western Poland.
Hamburg & Elbe Estuary
The massive industrial port of Hamburg and the wide mouth of the Elbe River flowing into the North Sea.
Wadden Sea
A unique view of the UNESCO World Heritage tidal flats, sandbanks, and channels along the Northern German coast.
Northumberland Coast
Historic landmarks like Bamburgh Castle and Lindisfarne (Holy Island) are visible as you make landfall in the UK.
Bass Rock
The striking white volcanic island in the Firth of Forth, home to one of the world's largest northern gannet colonies.
The right side is the 'coastal' side. As you approach Scotland, look for the rugged cliffs of the Borders. This side provides excellent lighting during morning flights, illuminating the UK coastline as you descend toward Edinburgh Airport.
Wrocław Views
Aerial perspective of the historic 'City of a Hundred Bridges' and the winding Odra River shortly after departure.
Lusatian Lake District
Massive former open-cast mines transformed into a sprawling network of artificial lakes near the Polish-German border.
Frisian Islands
The delicate chain of islands along the Dutch and German coastline before the flight heads out over the open North Sea.
Forth Bridges
An incredible view of the UNESCO-listed Forth Bridge and the modern Queensferry Crossing during the final approach.
Edinburgh City Center
Clear views of Arthur's Seat and the historic skyline, including the Castle, if the plane banks south for landing.
Select the left side if you want the best angle for the iconic Forth Bridges just seconds before touchdown on Runway 24. For late afternoon flights, this side will be in the shade, making it easier to take photos without window glare while flying west.
