Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The Left Side is superior for this route as it tracks the scenic coastlines of the North Sea and the Baltic, offering views of unique geological formations like the Curonian Spit and the dramatic transition from sea to land.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
⚓

East Anglian Coast

Aerial views of the Port of Felixstowe and the Orwell Bridge as the plane leaves the UK coast.

🏝️

West Frisian Islands

The distinct chain of islands off the coast of the Netherlands, showing a unique pattern of sandbanks and tidal flats.

🌊

Heligoland Bight

Clear views of the North Sea's deep blue waters and the tiny, remote red sandstone islands of Heligoland.

⚪

Rügen White Cliffs

Germany's largest island featuring the famous chalk cliffs of Jasmund National Park along the Baltic coast.

🏗️

Gdańsk Bay

The industrial and historical maritime hub of Poland, including the Westerplatte peninsula and the shipyards.

🗺️

Kaliningrad Enclave

A rare aerial perspective of the Russian exclave, highlighting its distinct urban layout compared to its neighbors.

🏹

Curonian Spit

The thin, 98km long curved sand-dune spit that separates the Curonian Lagoon from the Baltic Sea.

Book a morning flight to have the sun behind the plane, providing optimal lighting for the Baltic coastline. During winter, look for ice formation along the shores of the Curonian Lagoon. Use a wide-angle lens for the Frisian Islands as they span a large area of the horizon.

Right Side Highlights

🌬️

North Sea Wind Farms

Massive arrays of offshore wind turbines standing in the shallow waters of the southern North Sea.

🏙️

Hamburg & the Elbe

Distant views of Germany's second-largest city and the winding path of the Elbe River heading inland.

🌲

North German Plain

Expansive views of the Lüneburg Heath and the flat, green agricultural heartland of Northern Germany.

🛶

Masurian Lake District

As the flight crosses Northern Poland, look for the glisten of thousands of small glacial lakes.

💧

Kaunas Reservoir

The largest Lithuanian artificial lake, visible just before the final descent into KUN airport.

Expect significant glare on morning flights as the sun will be directly on this side. Late afternoon flights offer beautiful sunset reflections over the Masurian Lakes. This side is better for observing the dense forest coverage of Central Europe.
