NRN β LPP
Which side of the plane to sit from Weeze Airport (Weeze) to Lappeenranta Airport (Lappeenranta)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic German coastline, the Estonian shore, and the breathtaking Saimaa lake system during the approach into Lappeenranta.
RΓΌgen Island
The iconic white chalk cliffs of Jasmund National Park and the long sandy beaches of Germany's largest island.
Tallinn and Estonian Coast
Excellent views of the medieval spires of Tallinn and the rugged, forested coastline of northern Estonia.
Gulf of Finland Traffic
Witness one of the world's busiest maritime corridors, filled with ferries and tankers moving between East and West.
Lake Saimaa System
An incredible labyrinth of thousands of islands and blue water, showcasing Finland's largest lake system just before landing.
This is the definitive side for the descent. As the plane turns toward Lappeenranta, the view of the Saimaa lake district is world-class. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for photographing the Estonian coast and the islands.
Lower Rhine Landscape
Aerial views of the patchwork fields and industrial heritage of the North Rhine-Westphalia region shortly after takeoff.
Central Baltic Sea
Expansive views of the deep blue Baltic Sea, often dotted with cargo ships heading toward the North Sea.
Bornholm Island
Look out for this rocky Danish island in the middle of the Baltic, recognizable by its unique round churches from high altitude.
Helsinki Skyline
On a clear day, the white silhouette of Helsinki's Cathedral and the sprawling archipelago can be seen in the distance.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and for a better chance to see the Finnish capital in the distance. During winter, look for shifting sea ice patterns as you approach the Finnish coast.
