Which side of the plane to sit from London Stansted Airport (London) to Weeze Airport (Weeze)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior view of the intricate Dutch coastline, the massive industrial scale of the Port of Rotterdam, and the engineering marvels of the Delta Works.
Port of Rotterdam
A spectacular bird's-eye view of Europoort, one of the world's largest and most technologically advanced maritime hubs.
Zeeland Delta Works
View the massive storm surge barriers and dams that protect the low-lying Dutch provinces from the North Sea.
Biesbosch National Park
A unique wetland area featuring a complex labyrinth of rivers and creeks visible during the descent.
Maas River Meanders
The scenic, winding path of the Maas river provides a geographic guide as the aircraft prepares for its final approach into Weeze.
The right side is best for geography enthusiasts. Because this is a very short flight (approx. 45-60 minutes), the transition from the English coast to the Dutch delta happens quickly; be ready with your camera about 20 minutes after takeoff.
Essex Countryside
Aerial views of the rolling hills and historic villages of North Essex immediately after departure from Stansted.
North Sea Shipping
Observe one of the world's busiest shipping lanes, often dotted with massive cargo ships and tankers heading toward the English Channel.
City of Nijmegen
The oldest city in the Netherlands is often visible as you approach the German border, characterized by its historic bridges over the Waal river.
Sit on the left if you are flying in the early morning to avoid direct sun glare. Keep an eye out for the vast offshore wind farms in the North Sea which appear as white dots on the blue water during the middle of the flight.
