Our Recommendation
8.6

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior vantage point for the intricate Danish archipelago, the UNESCO-listed Wadden Sea tidal flats, and the fascinating reclaimed polders of the Netherlands.

Right Side Highlights
8.6
🇩🇰

Danish Archipelago

Spectacular views of the islands of Falster and Lolland, including the bridges connecting the Danish transport corridor.

🌊

Wadden Sea Islands

A breathtaking look at the chain of Frisian Islands and the unique sandbank patterns of the tidal mudflats.

🚜

Dutch Polders

The geometric perfection of reclaimed land in the Flevoland region and the massive wind farms of the North Sea coast.

🏙️

Brussels Approach

As the plane turns toward Charleroi, look for the distant silhouette of the Atomium and the Brussels skyline to the north.

The right side is ideal for avoiding direct sunlight glare on south-westbound daytime flights. Watch closely around the 45-minute mark for the transition from the Danish islands to the German coast, as the tidal patterns are highly photogenic.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🌲

Södermanland Coastline

Immediately after takeoff from Skavsta, view the dense Swedish forests interspersed with crystal-clear Baltic inlets.

⚓

Port of Hamburg

On clear days, the massive industrial scale of the Elbe river and the Hamburg metropolitan area is visible to the south.

🏰

Meuse Valley

During the final descent into Charleroi, observe the rolling hills and historic fortifications of the Walloon region.

Sit on the left for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise reflecting off the Baltic Sea. This side is also better for viewing the dense urban clusters of Northern Germany and the industrial heart of Belgium during the descent.
