Which side of the plane to sit from Kaunas International Airport (Kaunas) to Birmingham International Airport (Birmingham)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point for the Baltic coastline and the unique island chains of the North Sea, plus a more scenic entry into the English Midlands.
Curonian Spit
The long, thin sand-dune spit separating the Curonian Lagoon from the Baltic Sea.
Frisian Islands
A stunning chain of islands along the German and Dutch coasts, surrounded by the Wadden Sea mudflats.
North Sea Wind Farms
Massive offshore arrays of wind turbines appearing as white dots against the deep blue water.
The Wash
The large, square-shaped bay on the East Coast of England, known for its significant salt marshes.
East Midlands Landscapes
The patchwork quilt of English farmland and the gentle rolling hills of Leicestershire on final descent.
The right side is ideal for photographers as it avoids direct sunlight on this westbound route. Keep your camera ready about 40 minutes before landing to capture the distinct geometry of The Wash and the English coastline.
Kaunas Old Town
Aerial view of the confluence of the Nemunas and Neris rivers right after departure.
Berlin Metropolitan Area
On clear days, the sprawling German capital is visible to the south during the cruise phase.
Dutch Polders
The intricate network of canals and reclaimed land patches across the Netherlands.
Port of Rotterdam
One of the world's largest ports, visible as a massive industrial complex on the North Sea coast.
Distant London
Depending on the arrival stack, the London skyline can sometimes be spotted on the horizon to the south.
While the left side offers great city views, be aware of the southern sun glare during morning and afternoon flights. Use the window shade to improve visibility of the Dutch delta region.
