STN → KIV
Which side of the plane to sit from London Stansted Airport (London) to Chişinău International Airport (Chisinau)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Central European landscape, including the majestic Carpathian Mountains and the winding Prut River before landing.
Thames Estuary
Stunning aerial views of the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge and the industrial landscape of the Thames after takeoff.
Bohemian Forest
The dense, ancient woodlands and rolling hills bordering Southern Germany and the Czech Republic.
Transylvanian Alps
Spectacular views of the Southern Carpathians in Romania, often capped with snow in winter months.
Prut River & Vineyards
The meandering river marking the border of Moldova, surrounded by the country's famous rolling vineyard hills.
The right side is ideal for capturing the dramatic terrain of the Carpathians. On clear days, the contrast between the mountain peaks and the plains of Romania is striking. During evening flights, you may catch a beautiful sunset over the Romanian plateau.
Dutch Coastline
Views of the intricate coastline of the Netherlands and the North Sea islands during the initial cruise phase.
Berlin & Dresden
A chance to spot the urban sprawls of Eastern Germany and the historic Elbe River valley.
Sudetes Mountains
Look for the rugged peaks of the Krkonoše range marking the border between Poland and Czechia.
Moldovan Plains
The vast, fertile agricultural patchwork of Northern Moldova as the plane begins its descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to minimize glare from the sun, which will be positioned to the south. Keep a lookout for the complex canal systems of the Low Countries shortly after crossing the North Sea.
