ORK โ†’ VNO

Which side of the plane to sit from Cork Airport (Cork) to Vilnius International Airport (Vilnius)?

Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the Irish and English coastlines upon departure, followed by the scenic Frisian Islands and the Baltic coastline of Northern Europe.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช

Waterford & Wexford Coast

Aerial views of the rugged southeastern Irish coastline and the Hook Peninsula as the plane crosses the Celtic Sea.

๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง

East Anglian Fens

Sweeping views of the flat, patterned agricultural landscapes of Eastern England before crossing the North Sea.

๐Ÿ๏ธ

Frisian Islands

A stunning chain of sandy islands and tidal flats stretching along the Dutch and German coasts.

โš“

Port of Hamburg

Distances views of Germany's 'Gateway to the World' and the winding Elbe River estuary.

๐ŸŒฒ

Lithuanian Lakelands

As you descend into VNO, view the dense forests and numerous glacial lakes characteristic of the Aukลกtaitija region.

Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun which will be to the south. This side provides the best visibility of the Wadden Sea islands. In winter, keep an eye out for frozen coastal inlets along the Baltic.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Greater London Outskirts

Depending on the specific airway, look for the sprawling urban expanse and the Thames Estuary to the north of London.

๐Ÿ—๏ธ

Rotterdam Europort

One of the world's largest industrial complexes and busiest ports visible along the Dutch coastline.

๐Ÿž๏ธ

Masurian Lake District

While passing over Northern Poland, thousands of small lakes create a sparkling mosaic on the landscape.

๐Ÿฐ

Vilnius City Center

If the flight approaches from the west/north, the right side often catches the red-tiled roofs of the UNESCO-listed Old Town.

The right side is ideal for catching the sunset on late afternoon flights heading east. During the descent into Vilnius, this side typically offers a better angle of the city skyline if the aircraft is landing on Runway 19. Watch for the Neris River snaking through the landscape.
