POZ → EDI
Which side of the plane to sit from Poznań-Ławica Airport (Poznan) to Edinburgh Airport (Edinburgh)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior scenic experience, offering a front-row seat to the unique tidal patterns of the Wadden Sea and the iconic approach over the Firth of Forth into Scotland.
Hamburg & Elbe River
The massive industrial port of Hamburg and the winding Elbe river are visible as you head toward the coast.
East Frisian Islands
The spectacular chain of islands and the UNESCO Wadden Sea tidal flats create beautiful sand patterns.
North Sea Wind Farms
Massive offshore wind installations look like tiny white dots arranged in perfect grids across the water.
Firth of Forth
The wide estuary leading to Edinburgh, offering views of the Fife coastline and rocky islands.
The Forth Bridge
The iconic UNESCO-listed red railway bridge is often visible during the final descent into EDI airport.
Fife Peninsula
Lush green coastal towns and golf courses of Fife are clearly visible just before touchdown.
For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing on the right. This side is critical for the arrival into Edinburgh, as standard flight paths often bank over the Firth of Forth, providing a world-class view of the three bridges. Clear weather is most common in spring and early autumn.
Hannover Cityscape
View of the major German hub and its surrounding greenery shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
Dutch Coastline
The intricate waterways and reclaimed land around the IJsselmeer are often visible in the distance.
The North Pennines
The 'backbone of England' offers rugged, rolling hill landscapes as you cross the UK coastline.
Northumberland Coast
Historical landmarks and castle ruins can be spotted along the northeast coast of England.
Harz Mountains
Distant views of the forested peaks in central Germany during the early stages of the flight.
The left side is ideal for avoiding direct sunlight on westbound flights during the afternoon. Watch for the transition from the flat European plains to the more rugged terrain of the English and Scottish borders.
