LPL β WMI
Which side of the plane to sit from Liverpool John Lennon Airport (Liverpool) to Modlin Airport (Warsaw)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of English national parks, the dense urban landscapes of the Netherlands, potential distant views of Berlin, and a more scenic final approach over the Kampinos Forest towards Modlin.
Peak District
The rolling hills and dales of one of England's most famous national parks visible shortly after departure.
The Randstad
The dense urban network of the Netherlands, including Amsterdam and Utrecht, seen during the mid-flight cruise.
Berlin Skyline
On clear days, the German capital and its surrounding lakes are often visible to the south.
PoznaΕ
The historic Polish city and its surrounding lake district are prominent halfway through the Polish leg.
Kampinos National Park
The lush green expanse and ancient forest just south of Modlin Airport during the final descent.
Warsaw Distant View
If the plane approaches from the south, the skyscrapers of downtown Warsaw are visible in the distance.
Choose the right side to catch the Peak District early on. As you enter Poland, keep an eye out for Berlin in the distance. During the final approach to WMI, this side often provides a glimpse of the Warsaw skyline if the flight path tracks south of the airport before landing. Afternoon flights are better here for soft lighting over the Polish landscape.
Mersey Estuary
Spectacular views of the Liverpool docks and the Wirral Peninsula immediately after takeoff.
Offshore Wind Farms
Massive renewable energy arrays visible in the North Sea during the crossing toward Europe.
Wadden Sea
The unique tidal flats and Frisian Islands along the Dutch and German coasts are highly visible.
North German Ports
Distant views of the industrial hubs near Bremen and Hamburg as you track across Northern Germany.
Polish Lowlands
A vast, geometric patchwork of agricultural fields and small forests across Northern Poland.
Vistula River
The winding path of Poland's longest river as you descend toward the Modlin plateau.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Mersey waterfront at takeoff. During the North Sea crossing, look for the intricate patterns of the Frisian Islands. Morning flights are ideal for this side as the sun will be in the south, lighting up the northern coastline clearly without glare.
