Which side of the plane to sit from Kaunas International Airport (Kaunas) to Bristol Airport (Bristol)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Baltic and North Sea coastlines, the unique East Frisian Islands, and a stunning approach over the Severn Estuary into Bristol.
Curonian Spit
The dramatic sand dune spit separating the Curonian Lagoon from the Baltic Sea is visible early in the flight.
East Frisian Islands
A beautiful chain of sandy islands along the German coast, surrounded by the Wadden Sea.
North Sea Shipping
Vast views of the North Sea featuring major shipping lanes and massive offshore wind farms.
East Anglian Coastline
The entry point into the UK, featuring the rugged cliffs and sandy beaches of Norfolk and Suffolk.
Severn Estuary
Stunning views of the Prince of Wales Bridge and the Welsh border during the descent into Bristol.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, providing perfect lighting for photography. Look out early for the Baltic coastline. The 'star of the show' is the approach over the Severn Bridges; ensure your window is clear as the plane banks north of the airport for the final line-up. Keep an eye out for the distinct colors of the Wadden Sea mudflats when crossing the German/Dutch border.
Lithuanian Woodlands
Expansive views of the dense forests and the winding Nemunas River shortly after takeoff.
Dutch Randstad
Aerial perspective of the densely populated urban clusters and canal networks of the western Netherlands.
Greater London
Distant views of the London skyline and the M25 orbital motorway as the flight crosses into English airspace.
Wiltshire Landmarks
Potential sightings of ancient landscapes and white horse hill figures in the English countryside.
Bristol City Center
A clear view of the city center, Harbourside, and the Clifton Suspension Bridge on the final approach.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and enjoy softer lighting on the landscape. This side is better for spotting the sprawling urban centers of Europe and the rolling hills of Somerset during the final descent. During winter months, the snow-covered plains of Poland and Lithuania are particularly striking from this side.
