STNBRE

Which side of the plane to sit from London Stansted Airport (London) to Bremen Airport (Bremen)?

Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a front-row seat to the stunning chain of Frisian Islands along the Dutch and German coasts, providing a unique perspective of the Wadden Sea's complex tidal patterns.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏖️

North Norfolk Coast

Aerial views of the designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty as the plane leaves the UK landmass.

🌬️

Offshore Wind Farms

Massive arrays of turbines in the North Sea, including the London Array and Hornsea projects.

🏝️

West Frisian Islands

The Dutch islands of Texel, Vlieland, and Terschelling appear as golden crescents against the blue sea.

🌊

The Wadden Sea

Visualizing the UNESCO World Heritage site with its intricate network of tidal channels and sandbanks.

⚓

Wilhelmshaven Port

Germany's only deep-water port and a major naval base visible just before the turn toward Bremen.

Sit on the left for the best views of the coastal transitions. This side is particularly spectacular during morning flights when the sun illuminates the sandbanks of the Frisian Islands, or during high tide when the channels are most defined. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Dutch-German maritime border.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
🚢

Port of Felixstowe

The UK's largest and busiest container port, easily identifiable by the massive red cranes and cargo ships.

🏙️

Dutch Mainland

Views of the highly organized agricultural grids and polders of the northern Netherlands.

🦆

Lauwersmeer National Park

A man-made lake and nature reserve on the border of the Groningen and Friesland provinces.

🌆

Oldenburg Cityscape

The historic city in Lower Saxony serves as a landmark during the final descent into Bremen.

🐉

Weser River Meanders

The winding path of the Weser River as it flows through the German lowlands toward the city.

The right side is best for those interested in industrial landmarks like the Felixstowe docks and the inland geography of Lower Saxony. During the winter months, the afternoon flights on this side may experience significant glare from the low southern sun, so polarized sunglasses are recommended.
