East Anglian Coastline
The final views of the UK mainland, featuring the rugged cliffs and beaches of Norfolk and Suffolk.
Frisian Islands
A stunning chain of islands stretching along the Dutch and German coasts, separated by the Wadden Sea.
Kiel Canal & Jutland
Visuals of the busy maritime gateway and the southern tip of the Danish peninsula.
Baltic Offshore Wind Farms
Massive arrays of turbines generating green energy in the clear waters of the Baltic Sea.
Curonian Spit
A UNESCO-listed narrow sand dune spit that creates a dramatic border between the lagoon and the sea.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind the aircraft, ensuring better visibility and photo quality. As the flight approaches the Baltics, watch for the distinct blue-green contrast of the Curonian Spit. Cloud cover is common over the North Sea, so the most reliable views typically occur over the German coast and during the final descent into Vilnius.

Thames Estuary
Aerial views of the industrial ports and the winding mouth of the River Thames shortly after departure.
Randstad Region
The dense urban sprawl and canal networks of the Netherlands, including the outskirts of Amsterdam and Rotterdam.
North German Plain
Vast stretches of agricultural land and dense forests typical of the Lower Saxony region.
Vistula River Basin
The winding silver curves of Poland's longest river as it cuts through the central European plains.
Vilnius Old Town
Depending on the landing pattern (usually Runway 19), a chance to see the red-roofed historic center and church spires.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. During winter months, the right side provides the best light for viewing the snowy plains of Poland and Lithuania. Pay close attention during the final 10 minutes of the flight; if the plane approaches from the north, the right side provides a panoramic view of the city's Soviet-era districts transitioning into the modern skyline.
