Which side of the plane to sit from London Stansted Airport (London) to Frankfurt-Hahn Airport (Hahn)?

Thames Estuary
View the widening mouth of the River Thames as the flight leaves English airspace.
Port of Zeebrugge
One of Europe's most important and busiest container ports along the Belgian coast.
Bruges and Ghent
Spot the historic medieval layouts and canal systems of these famous Flemish cities from a high altitude.
Ardennes Forest
Extensive hilly forest regions covering parts of Belgium and Luxembourg during the mid-flight segment.
Choose the left side for optimal lighting during morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Watch for the transition from the flat plains of Flanders to the rolling hills of the Eifel region as you enter German airspace. Clear days offer visibility of the North Sea shipping lanes.

Kent Coastline
Views of the White Cliffs of Dover and the English Channel are occasionally visible to the south.
Luxembourg City
Look for the dramatic deep river valleys and historic fortifications of the capital of Luxembourg.
Moselle Valley
Stunning views of the winding Moselle River and its world-famous steep-slope vineyards just before landing.
Hunsrück Mountains
The low mountain range surrounding Frankfurt-Hahn Airport, characterized by rugged terrain and deep valleys.
The right side is ideal for spotting the winding Moselle River during the final approach phase. If the plane departs Stansted towards the south, keep an eye out for a distant view of the London skyline shortly after takeoff. Seasonal fog in the Hunsrück can obscure views in late autumn.
