LPL → SZZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Liverpool John Lennon Airport (Liverpool) to Szczecin-Goleniów "Solidarność" Airport (Szczecin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Liverpool city skyline and the Mersey during takeoff, followed by expansive views of the Dutch and German inland landscapes, including the major metropolitan area of Hamburg and the Szczecin Lagoon upon arrival.
Liverpool Waterfront
Unmatched views of the Three Graces, Anfield, and the historic docklands as the aircraft climbs away from LPL.
The Humber Bridge
Spot one of the world's longest suspension bridges near Hull as you transition toward the North Sea.
Dutch Northern Coast
Views of the reclaimed land (polders) and the intricate canal systems of the Northern Netherlands.
Hamburg Panorama
Major urban landmark featuring the Alster lakes and the sprawling Port of Hamburg as the flight crosses Northern Germany.
Szczecin Lagoon
The massive Zalew Szczeciński lagoon and the winding Oder River provide a scenic backdrop during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for morning flights as the sun will be behind or above the aircraft. Pay close attention approximately 60-70 minutes into the flight for a distant view of Hamburg's city center. During the winter months, the frozen inland lakes of Northwest Poland offer a unique geometric pattern from above.
Liverpool Bay
Aerial view of the Irish Sea and the wind farms off the coast of the Wirral Peninsula shortly after takeoff.
The Humber Estuary
Clear views of the massive estuary separating Yorkshire and Lincolnshire as the flight leaves the UK coast.
East Frisian Islands
A stunning chain of German islands and the UNESCO-listed Wadden Sea mudflats visible during the North Sea crossing.
Elbe Estuary
Watch for the mouth of the Elbe River near Cuxhaven, a primary shipping artery for Northern Europe.
Baltic Horizon
As the plane begins its descent, look north toward the Baltic Sea coastline and the island of Usedom.
Sit on the left if you are flying in the late afternoon to avoid direct solar glare. Keep an eye out for the distinctive 'hook' of Spurn Point on the UK coast about 20 minutes into the flight. On clear days, the white sand beaches of the German islands provide excellent contrast against the dark North Sea.
