PRGEDI

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

While both sides offer diverse European landscapes, the Right Side is the clear winner for its spectacular approach over the Firth of Forth, providing a bird's-eye view of the three iconic bridges and the historic Edinburgh skyline.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⚓

Elbe River & Hamburg

The sprawling port of Hamburg and the winding Elbe river in Northern Germany.

🏝️

East Frisian Islands

A string of sandy barrier islands off the coast of Germany and the Netherlands.

⛳

St Andrews Coastline

The historic home of golf and the jagged Fife coastline as you enter Scottish airspace.

🌉

The Forth Bridges

A spectacular view of the UNESCO-listed Forth Bridge and the modern Queensferry Crossing.

🏰

Edinburgh Cityscape

The historic fortress and Arthur's Seat are often visible during the landing circuit.

The descent is the highlight of this route. As the plane tracks over the Firth of Forth, you get a perfect angle of the three bridges. In the morning, the light hits the Fife coast beautifully. Try to book a seat ahead of the wing for an unobstructed view of the bridges.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌲

Bohemian Forest

Lush greenery and rolling terrain of western Czech Republic shortly after takeoff.

🏭

German Heartland

View of the industrial and urban clusters of Lower Saxony and North-Rhine Westphalia.

🌊

North Sea Horizon

Vast expanse of the sea as the flight crosses from mainland Europe toward the British Isles.

⛰️

Cheviot Hills

The rugged natural border between England and Scotland visible during the descent.

🐑

Pentland Hills

The scenic regional park south of Edinburgh visible during the final approach into the airport.

Sit on the left for the best sunset views on evening flights as the sun dips below the western horizon. During the final approach to Runway 24, you will have a clear view of the rolling Southern Uplands and the southern outskirts of the city.
