STN → FMM
Which side of the plane to sit from London Stansted Airport (London) to Memmingen Allgau Airport (Memmingen)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panoramic experience, especially during the descent, featuring views of the Black Forest, the city of Stuttgart, and a breathtaking backdrop of the Northern Alps and Lake Constance.
Luxembourg City
Spot the deep valleys and historic fortifications of Luxembourg's capital from cruising altitude.
Black Forest
Extensive views of the dark, dense canopy of the Schwarzwald mountain range in Southwest Germany.
Stuttgart Metro
Look down upon the headquarters of Porsche and Mercedes-Benz in the Neckar river valley.
The Alpine Panorama
On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the Swiss and Austrian Alps dominate the southern horizon.
Lake Constance
The massive expanse of the Bodensee is often visible to the south during the descent into Memmingen.
The right side is essential for the mountain views. During the descent into FMM, keep your eyes south for the Alps. In the late afternoon, this side experiences the 'Golden Hour' over the Black Forest, though you may need sunglasses for the direct glare.
Essex Coastline
Aerial views of the Thames Estuary and the Essex marshes shortly after takeoff from Stansted.
Benelux Urban Centers
Pass over or near the densely populated hubs of Antwerp and Brussels in Belgium.
Middle Rhine Valley
Catch glimpses of the winding Rhine River and its historic hillside castles near Koblenz.
Bavarian Farmland
Neat geometric patterns of the German countryside as the plane begins its final approach.
Sit on the left for better views of the North Sea crossing and the industrial heart of the Benelux region. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, providing clear, high-contrast views of the Rhine valley.
