Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior mix of scenic coastal views over the Bristol Channel, the urban sprawl of Southern England, the iconic Rhine River valley, and a spectacular approach past the Karkonosze Mountains.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Galtee Mountains

Ireland's highest inland mountain range visible shortly after departing the Shannon region.

🌉

Bristol Channel

Expansive views of the Severn Estuary and the bridges connecting Wales to South West England.

🎡

London Outskirts

The massive urban footprint of Greater London is frequently visible to the south on clear days.

🥨

Rhine River

The winding silver ribbon of the Rhine, Germany's most important waterway, cutting through the landscape.

🏔️

Karkonosze Mountains

The 'Giant Mountains' on the Polish-Czech border provide a dramatic backdrop during the final descent into Wrocław.

The right side is highly recommended for the arrival phase, as the Sudetes mountain range offers the most dramatic scenery of the trip. Try to book an afternoon flight to see the Rhine and the Sudetes bathed in warmer light. Keep an eye out for the distinctive shape of Śnieżka, the highest peak in the region, just before landing.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🌊

Shannon Estuary

Immediate views of the rugged Atlantic coastline and the mouth of the River Shannon during takeoff.

⛰️

Snowdonia National Park

The highest peaks in Wales are often visible to the north while crossing the Irish Sea towards England.

🏗️

Port of Rotterdam

A massive industrial landscape and the intricate Dutch coastline visible as the flight enters European airspace.

🌲

Harz Mountains

Dense forest coverage and rolling hills in central Germany providing a green contrast to the plains.

🏙️

Wrocław City Panorama

Clear views of the Cathedral Island and the Odra River bridges depending on the landing direction.

Choose the left side for better lighting during morning flights to avoid direct glare. It is the best side for viewing the industrial heart of the Netherlands and Northern Germany. During descent into WRO, this side often provides a clearer view of the city's historic center if the wind is from the west.
