Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior perspective of Northern Germany's diverse landscape, the North Sea coastline, and the iconic approach over the Humber Estuary and the historic city of York.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏔️

Harz Mountains

View of the Brocken peak and dense forests of Northern Germany's highest mountain range.

🏝️

Frisian Islands

If the flight path trends north, the chain of islands along the Dutch and German coasts is clearly visible.

⚓

Humber Estuary

The striking Spurn Point sand spit and the massive Humber Bridge are key landmarks during the UK entry.

⛪

City of York

Perfect views of York Minster and the medieval city walls as the aircraft aligns for its final approach.

🐑

Yorkshire Dales

Lush green valleys and stone walls characteristic of the Wharfedale region just north of the airport.

The right side is essential for spotting the English coastline. Watch for the distinct curve of Spurn Point as you cross the coast. On approach to LBA, if the plane lands on Runway 14, you'll get an unparalleled view of the Yorkshire Dales. Early morning flights provide excellent lighting for the North Sea crossing and the patchwork fields of East Yorkshire.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌲

Central Bohemian Highlands

Dramatic volcanic hills and deep valleys visible immediately after departure from Prague.

🏙️

Leipzig & Central Germany

Bird's-eye view of the dense urban sprawl and post-mining lakes around the Leipzig area.

🏭

Ruhr Valley Industrial Hub

A distant but impressive view of the massive industrial complex and city clusters of Western Germany.

🌊

The Wash

The unique square-shaped bay on the East Anglian coast, visible as you cross the North Sea into UK airspace.

⛰️

The Peak District

Rolling green hills and moorland gritstone edges during the descent into the Leeds-Bradford area.

Sit on the left for a potential view of the Prague city center if the wind dictates a westward takeoff on Runway 24 with a southern turn. During the winter, look for the snow-capped peaks of the Ore Mountains (Erzgebirge) along the German border. Evening flights offer a spectacular view of the 'sea of lights' over the Benelux and Ruhr regions.
