Views of the 'Garden of England' and the busy shipping lanes of the Channel.
Thuringian Forest
Deep green forested ridges and rolling hills across central Germany.
Elbe Valley
The winding Elbe River and the sandstone cliffs of Saxon Switzerland near the German-Czech border.
Sudetes Mountains
The Karkonosze range provides a dramatic mountainous backdrop as the plane enters Polish airspace.
Krakow Approach
A view of the Vistula River and the outskirts of the historic city during the final descent.
Highly recommended for clear days. On the descent into Krakow, if visibility is high, you can often see the high peaks of the Tatra Mountains far to the south. Morning flights on this side offer the best lighting for photography of the mountain ranges.

Thames Estuary
Aerial views of the wide mouth of the River Thames and the Essex coastline immediately after takeoff.
Rotterdam Port
Massive container ships and the intricate infrastructure of one of the world's largest ports.
Wrocław
The 'City of a Hundred Bridges' in Western Poland is often visible as a sprawling urban center with the Oder River.

Choose this side if you are flying in the late afternoon to avoid direct sunlight. It provides better views of the Dutch and German coastlines if the flight path tracks slightly further north.
