PUY → STN
Which side of the plane to sit from Pula Airport (Pula) to London Stansted Airport (London)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the dramatic Julian Alps shortly after takeoff, followed by the winding Rhine River and a scenic approach over the North Sea and the English coastline.
Julian Alps
Spectacular limestone peaks of Slovenia and the High Tauern range in Austria shortly after departure.
Rhine Valley
The winding Rhine river valley, famous for its dense forests and hilltop castles through Germany.
Rotterdam Port
The massive scale of one of the world's largest ports and the complex delta of the Netherlands.
East Anglian Coast
The scenic transition from the North Sea to the marshes and beaches of the Suffolk and Essex coastline.
The right side is ideal for catching the rugged beauty of the Eastern Alps. During the approach to Stansted, this side often provides clear views of the UK's intricate coastline and the sprawling rural landscapes of East Anglia. Best for afternoon flights when the sun is on the opposite side of the aircraft.
Brijuni Archipelago
Stunning views of the 14 islands making up the Brijuni National Park immediately after takeoff from Pula.
The High Alps
Panoramic views of the snow-capped Western Alps as the plane transits from Italian to Swiss airspace.
Champagne Region
The distinctive rolling vineyard patterns of the Grand Est region in France.
English Channel
Aerial view of the narrowest part of the Channel and the busy shipping lanes near the Dover Strait.
Sit on the left for the best morning light on the Alpine peaks without glare. This side is also preferable if the flight path tracks south of London, offering a distant view of the city skyline during the descent into Stansted.
