Our Recommendation
8.4

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior coastal scenery, including the striking Frisian Islands and the iconic Hel Peninsula on approach to Gdansk.

Left Side Highlights
8.4
🌊

Mersey Estuary & Wirral

Aerial view of the Wirral Peninsula and the transition from the Mersey into the Irish Sea immediately after takeoff.

🏝️

West Frisian Islands

The unique chain of Dutch islands and the UNESCO-listed Wadden Sea tidal flats are often visible mid-flight.

🏖️

German Baltic Coast

Vistas of the white sandy beaches of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and the islands of Poel or Rugen depending on the exact airway.

⚓

Hel Peninsula

The incredibly thin, 35km long sandbar stretching into the Baltic Sea is a highlight during the descent into Gdansk.

Sit on the left to avoid the southern sun glare during morning and afternoon flights. During the descent, keep your eyes peeled for the Hel Peninsula—it is one of Europe's most unique geographic formations. For the best photos of the Dutch coast, aim for a flight during low tide when the sandbanks are most exposed.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏗️

Liverpool City & Docks

Excellent views of the historic waterfront, including the Royal Albert Dock and the city center skyscrapers.

⛰️

The Peak District

Vast green expanses and rolling hills of Northern England's first National Park visible shortly after departure.

🏙️

Hamburg & Elbe River

Distant views of Germany's major port city and the winding Elbe river as the flight crosses Northern Germany.

🌲

Kashubian Lake District

The lush, forested landscapes of Pomerania dotted with dozens of glacial lakes as you approach the Polish coast.

The right side is ideal for seeing the urban layout of Liverpool at takeoff. As you enter Polish airspace, look down for the dense forests of the Kashubian region. Be aware that during mid-day flights, the sun will be positioned to the south, which may cause significant window glare on this side.
