Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior coastal views of the Netherlands and the unique geography of the English Wash estuary during the descent into the East Midlands.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏘️

Wroclaw

The historic 'City of Bridges' in Poland is often visible in the early stages of the flight.

🌲

Harz Mountains

Germany's northernmost mountain range, home to the legendary Brocken peak.

🚢

Rotterdam Port

The massive, sprawling industrial landscape of Europe's largest maritime gateway.

🌊

The Wash

The unique square-shaped bay and tidal wetlands of the English coast during initial descent.

🏰

Lincoln Cathedral

Often visible to the north on the final approach into EMA, standing tall on its hill.

The right side is ideal for avoiding direct sunlight glare during daytime flights. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Dutch coast and enter UK airspace over East Anglia; the transition from the North Sea to the patchwork fields of Lincolnshire is particularly scenic.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏔️

Sudeten Mountains

The dramatic peaks of the Karkonosze range on the Polish-Czech border shortly after takeoff.

🏙️

Frankfurt Skyline

A view of 'Mainhattan,' Germany's financial hub with its cluster of high-rise skyscrapers.

🌲

The Ardennes

Vast rolling hills and dense forest coverage across eastern Belgium and Luxembourg.

🎡

London Distant View

On very clear days, the southern horizon reveals the distant sprawl of the UK capital.

Sit on the left for better lighting during morning flights, as the sun will be behind you. This side is also better for spotting the dense urban landscapes of central Europe. Watch for the Sudeten mountains within the first 20 minutes of flight.
