Which side of the plane to sit from Ireland West Knock Airport (Connaught) to Kaunas International Airport (Kaunas)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this route as it offers premium views of the English Lake District's peaks and the dramatic northern coastlines of Denmark and the Baltic islands.
Nephin Beg Range
Upon departure from Knock, view the rugged, remote wilderness of North Mayo's mountains.
The Lake District
Clear views of Windermere, Scafell Pike, and the rolling green fells of Cumbria, England.
North Sea Crossing
Vast ocean views often dotted with massive cargo ships and offshore gas platforms.
Jutland Peninsula
The northern tip of Denmark, featuring sandy dunes and the transition to the Baltic Sea.
Bornholm Island
A high-altitude view of the Danish island known for its round churches and rocky coastline.
Sit on the left (Port side) to avoid the direct southern sun glare during the day. In winter, this side catches the soft northern light, making the Lake District peaks look particularly sharp. For the best photography of the Irish coast, ensure you are seated forward of the wing.
Lough Mask and Corrib
Large, shimmering limestone lakes of Western Ireland visible shortly after takeoff.
Humber Estuary
Spot the iconic Humber Bridge and the sprawling industrial ports of Hull and Grimsby.
Vistula Spit
The incredibly narrow sandbar separating the Vistula Lagoon from the Baltic Sea near Poland.
Kaunas Old Town
On final approach, look for the confluence of the Nemunas and Neris rivers and the historic castle.
Zalgiris Arena
The modern sports arena on an island in the Nemunas River is often visible just before touchdown.
The right side is ideal for the final descent into Kaunas, as the flight path often circles the city from the south. However, you will likely face the sun for most of the eastward journey; keep your window blind partially down to manage the heat and brightness.
