KRK → SEN
Which side of the plane to sit from Kraków John Paul II International Airport (Krakow) to Southend Airport (Southend)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the North Sea coastline, the Dutch polders, and a clear perspective of the Essex coastline and the iconic Southend Pier during the final approach.
Berlin Metropolitan Area
On clear days, the sprawling urban expanse of the German capital is visible to the north.
Amsterdam & North Sea Canal
Striking geometric views of the Dutch polders and the canal connecting Amsterdam to the sea.
North Sea Wind Farms
The vast array of offshore turbines, including the London Array, appearing as tiny white dots in the water.
Southend Pier
The world's longest pleasure pier extending over a mile into the Thames Estuary during the final descent.
Essex Marshes
The unique, labyrinthine wetlands of the Essex coast just before landing at SEN.
This is the best side for evening flights to catch the sunset over the North Sea. For the best views of the Dutch coast, monitor your progress over the Netherlands. As you descend into Southend, be ready for a sharp view of the pier and the seafront amusement park 'Adventure Island'.
Upper Silesian Industrial Region
The dense urban and industrial landscape of Katowice and surrounding Polish cities shortly after takeoff.
Sudetes Mountains
Distant views of the Karkonosze range on the border between Poland and the Czech Republic to the south.
Thuringian Forest
Dense, rolling green hills and forests stretching across central Germany.
Rotterdam Port
The massive industrial complex and intricate shipping lanes of Europe's largest seaport.
Kent Coast
Clear views of the North Kent marshes and the historic coastline of Southeast England before crossing the Thames.
Sit forward of the wing to get an unobstructed view of the Rhine-Meuse-Scheldt delta. This side is ideal for mid-day flights as it avoids the harshest glare from the sun, which will be to the south. Keep an eye out for the distinctive cooling towers of German power plants along the route.
