STN → AAR
Which side of the plane to sit from London Stansted Airport (London) to Aarhus Airport (Aarhus)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the approach into Aarhus, providing views of the southern Jutland coast and a direct look at Aarhus city and the bay during the final descent.
Suffolk Estuaries
Beautiful aerial perspectives of the River Orwell and Deben as the aircraft leaves the UK mainland.
Esbjerg & Fanø
Visible as you cross into Danish airspace, showcasing Denmark's largest offshore port and the North Sea islands.
Aarhus City Skyline
A clear view of the iconic 'Iceberg' building, the ARoS museum, and the bustling harbor area.
Samsø Island
The world-famous renewable energy island can often be seen floating in the Kattegat sea during the final turn.
The right side is best for afternoon/evening flights to capture the sunset reflecting off the Aarhus Bay. During the landing approach at AAR, this side usually faces the city, providing the best photographic opportunities of the destination's urban landscape.
The Wash & Norfolk Coast
Dramatic views of the tidal flats and salt marshes of the East Anglian coastline shortly after takeoff.
North Sea Wind Farms
Bird's-eye view of massive offshore wind installations, including the Horns Rev clusters near the Danish coast.
Limfjord Entrance
The narrow water passage that cuts through Northern Jutland, separating the mainland from the North Jutlandic Island.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. This side is ideal for spotting the rugged dunes of Thy National Park and the intricate waterways of Northern Denmark during the descent.
