Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is generally superior for this route as it offers views of the North German Plain, the Dutch coast including Amsterdam, and a spectacular descent over the Peak District National Park when approaching Manchester from the east.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Ore Mountains

The Erzgebirge range forms a natural border between the Czech Republic and Germany, visible shortly after departure.

🛶

Amsterdam & IJsselmeer

Stunning views of the Dutch polders, the distinctive shape of the IJsselmeer, and the canal-laden capital.

🏖️

The Wash

The large square bay on the east coast of England, known for its unique tidal flats and salt marshes.

🏞️

Peak District

Breathtaking views of the green plateaus and limestone valleys of the UK's first National Park during descent.

🏟️

Manchester Urban Area

Clear views of the city's landmarks, including iconic football stadiums, depending on the specific landing pattern.

The right side is essential for the best views of the Peak District during the 'Dayne' arrival into Manchester. For morning flights, this side will be shaded, providing better conditions for photography. Keep an eye out for the Dutch coastline, which is particularly vibrant on clear spring days when the tulip fields are in bloom.

7.2
🌲

Bohemian Forest

Dense woodlands and rolling hills along the Czech-German border shortly after takeoff from Prague.

🏰

Rhine Valley

Glances of the winding Rhine River and the industrial heartland of Western Germany near Cologne.

🇧🇪

Brussels Metropolitan Area

A sprawling view of the Belgian capital and its surrounding urban landscape during the mid-flight cruise.

🌊

English Channel

The narrow crossing between mainland Europe and the UK, often filled with cargo shipping lanes.

🏙️

Midlands Skyline

As the plane turns north-west, you may catch glimpses of Birmingham and the industrial centers of middle England.

Sit on the left if you prefer afternoon sun and want to see the dense urban sprawl of the Benelux region. If the flight path dips slightly south, you might catch a distant view of the London skyline. Use a window seat behind the wing to avoid engine glare during sunset flights.
