RZE → STN
Which side of the plane to sit from Rzeszów-Jasionka Airport (Rzeszow) to London Stansted Airport (London)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the historic Polish cities of Krakow and Wroclaw, distant views of the Tatra Mountains shortly after takeoff, and a more scenic approach into the UK over the Thames Estuary and urban clusters.
Tatra Mountains Horizon
On clear days, the jagged peaks of the High Tatras are visible to the south shortly after departure from Rzeszów.
Historic Krakow
A clear view of the Vistula River and the architectural density of Poland's former capital as the plane heads west.
Silesian Urban Area
The interconnected industrial and residential landscape of the Katowice metropolitan area provides a unique geometric pattern from above.
Dresden and Elbe River
Views of the reconstructed historic center of Dresden and the winding Elbe River as the flight crosses into Germany.
Thames Estuary
During the descent into Stansted, the left side often catches the widening mouth of the Thames and the Essex coastline.
Book a window seat behind the wing to avoid engine glare. Early morning flights provide excellent lighting for the Tatra mountains to the south. During the final approach, this side is better for spotting the outer reaches of Greater London if the pilot circles before landing.
Vistula River Path
Follow the winding course of Poland's longest river as it flows north toward the Baltic Sea.
Central European Forests
Vast stretches of managed forests across Western Poland and Eastern Germany create a deep green patchwork.
Berlin Skyline
Depending on the specific air corridor, the TV Tower and urban sprawl of Berlin may be visible in the distance to the north.
North Sea Coastline
The transition from the Dutch or Belgian coast into the open North Sea offers views of busy shipping lanes.
Offshore Wind Farms
Massive arrays of wind turbines are often visible in the shallow waters of the North Sea near the UK coast.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, reducing glare and heat haze. It is particularly good for seeing the expansive wind farms and the rural beauty of East Anglia during the final minutes of the flight.
