STN β BZG
Which side of the plane to sit from London Stansted Airport (London) to Bydgoszcz Ignacy Jan Paderewski Airport (Bydgoszcz)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior coastal views of the Dutch and German Frisian Islands and the unique tidal patterns of the Wadden Sea before crossing the scenic Mecklenburg Lake District.
Suffolk Coastline
Aerial views of the River Stour estuary and the busy port of Harwich shortly after departure from Stansted.
West Frisian Islands
The stunning island chain of Texel, Vlieland, and Terschelling along the Dutch coast.
Wadden Sea
A UNESCO World Heritage site visible as a patchwork of sandbanks and tidal channels.
Bremerhaven Port
Major maritime hub in Northern Germany where the Weser River meets the North Sea.
Mecklenburg Lake District
Thousands of interconnected lakes appearing as blue glass amidst the German forests.
Drawsko Landscape Park
Dense Polish forests and glacial lakes as the descent toward Bydgoszcz begins.
Sit on the left (seats A or B) for the best maritime views. For daytime flights, the sun will be behind you or overhead, providing excellent clarity for photographing the Dutch islands. Look out about 30-40 minutes after takeoff for the start of the Frisian archipelago.
Thames Estuary
Views of the industrial and natural landscape where the Thames meets the North Sea.
Amsterdam Proximity
While usually distant, the dense urban network of the Randstad is visible on clear days.
German Industrial Plains
The expansive agricultural and industrial heartland of Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt.
Berlin Metropolitan Area
Distant views of the German capital's sprawl depending on the specific air corridor assigned.
PoznaΕ Vicinity
The historic landscape of the Greater Poland region during the final leg of the journey.
Bydgoszcz Outskirts
Final approach views of the Brda River and the city's industrial southern suburbs.
Right side seats (E or F) are better for sunset flights, as the sun will be on this side of the aircraft. It provides a more urban perspective over Northern Europe. Note that you may experience more glare during mid-day flights traveling East-South-East.
