LPL → VNO
Which side of the plane to sit from Liverpool John Lennon Airport (Liverpool) to Vilnius International Airport (Vilnius)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the Liverpool waterfront upon departure, followed by the dramatic transition from the North Sea to the Frisian Islands and the scenic Baltic coastline of Poland and Lithuania.
Liverpool Waterfront
A stunning view of the River Mersey, the Royal Albert Dock, and the iconic Three Graces immediately after takeoff.
The North Sea
Expansive views of the maritime corridor between the UK and mainland Europe, often dotted with cargo ships.
Frisian Islands
The unique chain of islands and the Wadden Sea mudflats along the northern coasts of the Netherlands and Germany.
Gdańsk Bay
The major maritime hubs of Gdynia and Gdańsk on the Polish coast, where the Vistula River meets the Baltic Sea.
Lithuanian Woodlands
Dense, deep-green forests and the winding Neris River as the flight descends into Vilnius.
Sit on the left (seat A) for the best views of the Liverpool skyline on departure. As you approach the continent, look for the distinctive white sandbars of the Frisian Islands. This side is particularly spectacular during evening flights when the sun sets behind the plane, illuminating the Baltic coastline in gold.
The Peak District
Rolling hills and moorlands of Northern England shortly after departing the Liverpool area.
European Heartland
The intricate patchwork of agricultural fields across Northern Germany and Central Poland.
Masurian Lake District
A breathtaking expanse of over 2,000 lakes in northeastern Poland, visible shortly before crossing the Lithuanian border.
Trakai Island Castle
If the flight path approaches from the west/southwest, you may spot the famous red-brick castle on Galvė Lake.
Vilnius Old Town
Views of the red-roofed historic center and the Gediminas Tower during the final approach to VNO.
The right side (seat F) is ideal for spotting the Masurian Lake District in Poland, which is a major highlight of the mid-flight. For the best experience, try to book a morning flight to avoid the direct glare of the southern sun. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes for a potential glimpse of Trakai Castle.
