Which side of the plane to sit from Norwich International Airport (Norwich) to Humberside Airport (Humberside)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior coastal panorama, featuring the North Norfolk shore, a clear view across the North Sea, and a dramatic final approach over the industrial docks of Grimsby and the iconic Humber Bridge.
North Norfolk Coast
Spectacular views of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, including salt marshes and sandy beaches.
Offshore Wind Farms
Massive arrays of turbines located in the North Sea, appearing as white dots against the blue water.
Skegness Pier
The iconic Victorian pier and coastline of this famous seaside resort town are visible mid-flight.
Grimsby Docks
The large industrial port and the Grimsby Dock Tower are clearly visible as the plane enters the Humber estuary.
Humber Bridge
A breathtaking view of this massive suspension bridge during the final approach into Humberside.
The right side is essential for maritime enthusiasts; you will see significant shipping traffic entering the Humber. During sunset flights, the reflection of the light off the North Sea and the mudflats of The Wash creates a stunning golden glow.
Norwich City
Aerial views of the historic city, including the medieval cathedral and castle shortly after takeoff.
The Fens
A vast, flat landscape of reclaimed marshland with unique geometric drainage channels and rich farmland.
The Wash (Inland)
The western edges of the square-mouthed bay, where the River Witham and River Welland meet the sea.
Boston Stump
The unusually tall tower of St Botolph's Church in Boston, a prominent landmark in the flat landscape.
Lincolnshire Wolds
Gently rolling chalk hills that provide a scenic contrast to the surrounding lowlands during the descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the glare of the rising sun. Keep an eye out for the distinct 'patchwork quilt' effect of the Lincolnshire agricultural fields, which look particularly vibrant during the spring and summer months.
