Which side of the plane to sit from Manchester Airport (Manchester) to Billund Airport (Billund)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the Humber Estuary's industrial geography and the unique tidal landscapes of the Wadden Sea before landing.
Humber Bridge
A clear view of the iconic suspension bridge spanning the Humber Estuary between East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.
Spurn Point
The narrow, curving sand spit at the mouth of the Humber, a unique geographical landmark visible just before heading out to sea.
Esbjerg Port
Denmark's largest North Sea port, recognizable by its massive offshore industry installations and shipping traffic.
Wadden Sea
The UNESCO-listed intertidal zone with intricate patterns of sandbanks and tidal channels along the Danish coast.
LEGOLAND Billund
On final approach, look for the colorful blocks and distinctive layouts of the original Legoland resort located adjacent to the airport.
The right side is highly recommended for the arrival into Billund; if the wind is from the west, you may get a direct view of Legoland. Keep a close eye on the Humber Estuary about 15 minutes after takeoff for the best UK landmarks.
The Dark Peak
Aerial views of the rugged northern Peak District and the Kinder Scout plateau shortly after takeoff from Manchester.
Flamborough Head
The striking white chalk cliffs of the East Yorkshire coast as the aircraft begins its crossing of the North Sea.
Hornsea Wind Farm
One of the world's largest offshore wind farms, featuring hundreds of turbines arranged in geometric patterns across the water.
Ringkøbing Fjord
The narrow sandspit of Holmsland Klit and the shallow lagoon as you cross the western Danish coastline.
Sit on the left for better lighting during morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is ideal for spotting the dramatic chalk cliffs of the UK coast before the long sea crossing.
