Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior vantage point for the scenic transition from the Scottish coast to the unique tidal landscapes of the Frisian Islands and Northern Germany.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Firth of Clyde

Aerial views of the Ayrshire coastline and the silhouette of the Isle of Arran shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

North York Moors

Dramatic views of the rugged plateaus and deep valleys of northern England before crossing the coast.

🏝️

West Frisian Islands

A stunning chain of islands and the intricate sandbank patterns of the Wadden Sea along the Dutch coast.

🏙️

Hamburg & The Elbe

A clear view of Germany's largest port and the winding path of the Elbe River as it heads toward the sea.

🌲

Lower Silesian Forests

Vast stretches of pine forests and agricultural patchworks characteristic of Western Poland.

For the best experience, book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Frisian Islands. Keep your camera ready about 45-60 minutes into the flight for the North Sea crossing transition. During the descent, look for the geometric patterns of the Polish farmlands which are particularly vibrant in spring and autumn.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
⛰️

Southern Uplands

The rolling green hills and remote moorlands of the Scottish Borders immediately after departure.

🏙️

Randstad Sprawl

The dense urban network and shimmering canals of the Amsterdam and Utrecht metropolitan areas.

⛰️

Harz Mountains

The highest mountain range in Northern Germany, often featuring snow-capped peaks during winter months.

🌊

Odra River Valley

The meandering path of the Odra River as it winds through the floodplains toward Wrocław.

🏛️

Wrocław Cityscape

A panoramic view of the 'City of a Hundred Bridges' and the historic Cathedral Island on final approach.

The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the European continent. As you approach Wrocław, look for the Odra River; if the flight approaches from the west, you will get a great view of the Centennial Hall and the city's unique architectural layout. Seasonal snow on the Harz Mountains is a highlight between December and March.
