Which side of the plane to sit from Rzeszów-Jasionka Airport (Rzeszow) to East Midlands Airport (East Midlands)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side (Port) is generally superior for this route as it provides a better angle to view the Sudetes and Harz mountain ranges, as well as the potential to spot the distant London skyline during the approach into the UK.
Sudetes Mountains
Scenic peaks and ridges along the Polish-Czech border shortly after takeoff.
Leipzig Urban Area
Views of the historic city center and the massive DHL European hub.
Harz National Park
Dense German forests and the prominent Brocken summit rising from the landscape.
Southern North Sea
Active shipping lanes and offshore wind farms during the crossing to England.
London Horizon
On clear days, the distant skyscrapers of the City and Canary Wharf are visible to the south.
Leicester City
A bird's eye view of the city and its stadiums during the final approach phase.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography. Keep an eye out for the Sudetes mountains within the first 20 minutes of flight. During the descent over England, look south to spot the silver ribbon of the Thames and the London skyline in the distance.
Vistula River
Aerial views of the winding river valley during the initial climb out of Rzeszow.
Ruhr Industrial Zone
The vast interconnected network of cities and industrial infrastructure in Western Germany.
West Frisian Islands
A beautiful chain of islands and sandbars along the Dutch coast.
The Wash
The distinct, shallow square-shaped bay on the East Anglian coastline.
Lincoln Cathedral
The massive Gothic towers of this historic landmark frequently visible to the north.
Peak District
The rugged, green foothills of England's first national park near the destination.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the North Sea. Pay close attention as you cross the UK coast; the transition from the perfectly flat, agricultural Fens to the rolling hills of the Midlands is visually striking. Use binoculars to spot Lincoln Cathedral's spires.
