Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers the most diverse geographic views, including the Dutch Frisian Islands and the stunning approach over the Estonian archipelago and Tallinn Bay.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌳

Kent Countryside

Aerial views of the 'Garden of England' and the North Downs shortly after takeoff from Gatwick.

🏝️

Frisian Islands

The unique chain of islands and tidal sandbanks along the Dutch coast known as the Wadden Sea.

🇩🇰

Danish Archipelago

Clear views of the islands of Lolland and Zealand as the flight crosses the southern Baltic region.

🌊

Estonian Islands

A spectacular perspective of Saaremaa and Hiiumaa islands during the initial descent phase.

🏙️

Tallinn Bay

Views of the Gulf of Finland and the historic Tallinn skyline when approaching from the west.

Book a window seat on the left to avoid direct glare from the southern sun on daytime flights. This side is particularly rewarding during the final 20 minutes of the flight when passing the Estonian coastline. In autumn, the changing colors of the Baltic forests are highly visible during descent.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
⚓

Thames Estuary

Views of the industrial mouth of the Thames and the extensive wind farms in the North Sea.

🌉

Øresund Bridge

The massive bridge-tunnel system connecting Copenhagen and Malmö can often be spotted in the distance.

🚢

Baltic Sea Lanes

High-altitude views of the busy maritime traffic routes between Germany, Poland, and Scandinavia.

🌲

North Estonian Coast

The rugged, forested coastline of mainland Estonia as the aircraft aligns for the runway.

💧

Lake Ülemiste

The large freshwater lake located immediately adjacent to the airport runway during the final seconds of flight.

The right side is excellent for spotting the Øresund Bridge if the flight path tracks slightly south. However, expect significant sun exposure on southbound windows during midday flights. Watch for the large wind farms in the North Sea about 30 minutes after departure.
