Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring the sprawling London metropolis, the iconic White Cliffs of Dover, and a scenic approach into Poland with views of the Tatra Mountains to the south.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏙️

London Cityscape

On clear days, the vast urban sprawl of London and the winding River Thames are visible to the south.

🐚

White Cliffs of Dover

The famous chalk cliffs along the English Channel, marking the edge of the British Isles.

🏦

Frankfurt Skyline

The impressive 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers and the confluence of the Main and Rhine rivers.

🏔️

Tatra Mountains

Majestic, snow-capped peaks visible on the southern horizon during the descent into Southern Poland.

🏰

Krakow Old Town

A stunning view of the Vistula River and Wawel Castle if the flight approaches KRK from the west.

The right side is the 'photographer's choice' for this route. For the best views of the Tatra Mountains, look out about 20-30 minutes before landing. If the flight path takes you over the English Channel, the contrast of the white cliffs against the blue water is a highlight not to be missed.

🌊

Irish Sea Crossing

Expansive views of the dark blue waters between Ireland and Wales shortly after departure.

⛰️

Snowdonia National Park

The rugged, mountainous terrain of North Wales, including the peak of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon).

🏭

Ruhr Valley Industry

A bird's-eye view of Germany's industrial heartland with its dense urban network and river systems.

🌾

German Lowlands

A geometric patchwork of agricultural fields and wind farms across the northern German plains.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct sun glare. It provides the best perspective of the Irish coastline as you climb out of Shannon. Keep an eye out for the distinctive urban layouts of Manchester and Liverpool as you cross England.
