STNOSI

Which side of the plane to sit from London Stansted Airport (London) to Osijek Airport (Osijek)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers the most dramatic scenery, featuring the northern chain of the Alps and a better angle of the English coastline upon departure.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🎡

London Suburbs

Clear views of the Greater London area and the orbital motorway shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

The Austrian Alps

Spectacular snow-capped peaks and jagged ridges as the plane crosses central Europe.

🏞️

Salzkammergut Lakes

Turquoise alpine lakes nestled between steep limestone mountains in Austria.

🚜

Slavonian Patchwork

The vibrant green and gold agricultural fields of eastern Croatia during the approach to Osijek.

Sit on the right for the iconic Alpine crossing. For the best photography of the mountains, mid-morning flights are ideal as the sun highlights the southern slopes. Keep your camera ready about 60-70 minutes into the flight for the best mountain views.

Left Side Highlights

🌊

Thames Estuary

Aerial views of the winding river mouth and the coastal towns of Kent and Essex.

🏙️

Low Countries

The dense urban clusters and intricate canal systems of Belgium and the southern Netherlands.

🌲

Bavarian Forest

A vast expanse of dark green rolling hills as the flight traverses southern Germany.

💧

Lake Balaton

The 'Hungarian Sea' is often visible to the north during the final descent phase.

Choose this side for softer lighting during morning flights, as the sun will be on the opposite side. It is particularly good for spotting the industrial heart of Europe and the wide Pannonian plains before landing.
