RZE → MAN
Which side of the plane to sit from Rzeszów-Jasionka Airport (Rzeszow) to Manchester Airport (Manchester)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the North German Plain, the stunning Dutch coastline and the IJsselmeer, and the rugged beauty of the Pennines during the descent into Manchester.
Berlin Cityscape
On northerly routes, the TV Tower and sprawling Berlin metropolitan area are clearly visible.
IJsselmeer & Wadden Sea
Spectacular views of the Dutch polders, reclaimed land, and the unique tidal patterns of the North Sea.
Humber Estuary
The dramatic crossing into England, featuring the massive Humber Bridge and the port of Hull.
The Pennines
Known as the backbone of England, these hills provide a dramatic backdrop just before landing.
Manchester City Center
Depending on the wind, the approach to MAN often passes right by the city center and iconic football stadiums.
Sit on the right for the most iconic landmarks. During the descent into Manchester, if the plane lands on Runway 23, the right side gets a perfect view of the city center. Morning flights provide the best lighting for photography of the Dutch coast and the English countryside.
Kraków & Vistula River
Shortly after takeoff, see the winding Vistula River and the historic cityscape of southern Poland.
Ore Mountains
Aerial views of the forested ridges along the German-Czech border region.
Ruhr Metropolis
The dense industrial heartland of Germany, showcasing massive urban sprawl and infrastructure.
Rotterdam Port
The expansive docks and shipping channels of Europe's largest seaport as you reach the coast.
Peak District National Park
Lush green valleys and limestone plateaus of central England during the initial descent.
The left side is best for late afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun when flying westward. Watch for the industrial lights of the Ruhr area if flying at dusk, which creates a massive glowing grid across the horizon.
