Which side of the plane to sit from Lappeenranta Airport (Lappeenranta) to Weeze Airport (Weeze)?

Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic transition from the Baltic Sea to the industrial and urban landscapes of Northern Germany, including a potential view of the Port of Hamburg.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
⛴️

Baltic Shipping Lanes

High-altitude views of cargo ships and ferries navigating the busy routes between Scandinavia and Germany.

🏝️

Swedish Islands

Distant views of Öland and Gotland are possible if the flight path tracks more westerly over the sea.

🌉

Fehmarn Sound Bridge

The critical transport link connecting the island of Fehmarn with the German mainland.

🚢

Hamburg & Elbe River

A spectacular view of Germany's largest port and the winding Elbe river during the transit across Northern Germany.

🐄

Münsterland Plains

The green, agricultural patchwork of Westphalia becomes visible during the final descent into Weeze.

Sit on the right for stunning sunset views on evening flights as the sun dips toward the North Sea. This side is also best for spotting the massive logistics infrastructure of Northern Germany. During winter months, the contrast between the dark Baltic waters and snow-covered coastal islands is particularly striking.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🌲

Lake Saimaa

Europe's fourth-largest freshwater lake system, visible immediately after takeoff from Lappeenranta.

🏰

Tallinn Skyline

On clear days, the medieval spires of the Estonian capital are visible as the plane crosses the Gulf of Finland.

🌊

Curonian Spit

The unique, long sand-dune spit separating the Curonian Lagoon from the Baltic Sea.

🏗️

Szczecin Port

A major Polish harbor city near the German border, marking the transition into Central European airspace.

🏙️

Berlin Outskirts

While usually distant, the sprawling suburban landscapes of the German capital region can be spotted to the south.

Choose this side if you want the best view of the Finnish Lakeland during departure. Afternoon flights on this side are shielded from direct sunlight, making it easier to take photos of the Baltic coastline without glare. Watch for the intricate coastline of Estonia and Latvia shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
