OSISTN

Which side of the plane to sit from Osijek Airport (Osijek) to London Stansted Airport (London)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a more dramatic view of the Alpine range and, depending on the approach pattern, a superior view of the London skyline and the Thames Estuary.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Austrian Alps

Spectacular views of the snow-capped Alpine peaks as the flight traverses towards Western Europe.

💧

Lake Constance

A massive lake at the border of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, clearly visible from cruising altitude.

🌲

The Black Forest

The dense, dark evergreen canopy of southwestern Germany creates a striking landscape.

🏙️

Brussels Cityscape

A clear view of the Belgian capital's dense urban sprawl and central landmarks.

🌉

London Skyline

On the final descent, the Shard, Canary Wharf, and the winding Thames often appear during the turn toward Stansted.

For the best experience, book a window seat away from the wing (rows 1-8 or 22-30). On morning flights, the sun will be on the left side, so window shades may be needed; late afternoon flights offer a beautiful sunset over the North Sea. Keep a camera ready roughly 50 minutes after takeoff for the Alpine peaks.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🌊

Drava River

Immediately after takeoff from Osijek, view the winding river that defines the regional landscape.

🥨

Munich & Bavaria

The sprawling city of Munich and the surrounding Bavarian countryside are visible to the north.

🚢

Rhine River Valley

Watch the industrial and scenic heart of Germany with its heavy barge traffic and riverside towns.

🌳

The Ardennes

The rolling hills and heavy forests of southeastern Belgium offer a lush green perspective.

🌾

East Anglian Coastline

The distinct landscape of the Essex and Suffolk coasts as the aircraft enters UK airspace.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct glare. It offers excellent views of the confluence of the Drava and Danube rivers shortly after departure from Osijek. During the descent into Stansted, look for the unique patterns of the English patchwork fields and coastal estuaries.
