STN → POZ
Which side of the plane to sit from London Stansted Airport (London) to Poznań-Ławica Airport (Poznan)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the North Sea coastline, the unique chain of Frisian Islands, and the sprawling landscapes of Northern Germany and the Polish lake districts.
East Anglian Coastline
Watch the transition from the UK mainland to the North Sea near the Suffolk coast shortly after departure.
West Frisian Islands
Clear views of the Dutch barrier islands including Texel and Vlieland, characterized by sandy beaches and dunes.
North German Ports
Aerial perspectives of the industrial ports and the Elbe river estuary near Hamburg.
Wielkopolska Plains
A patchwork of fertile agricultural fields and small forests as you enter Polish airspace towards Poznań.
For the best experience, book an early morning flight to avoid the glare of the southern sun. Keep your camera ready about 25-35 minutes after takeoff from STN to capture the Dutch islands. During winter, the landscape of Northern Germany and Poland often features a scenic frost or light snow cover.
Thames Estuary
A distant view of the outer Thames and the industrial zones of Essex during the initial climb phase.
The Randstad
The densely populated urban hub of the Netherlands, including the outskirts of Amsterdam and Utrecht.
Wolfsburg & Autostadt
The massive Volkswagen factory complex and the Mittelland Canal are often visible in central Germany.
Oder River Border
The winding Oder river marks the international border between Germany and Poland shortly before descent begins.
The right side can be quite bright on midday flights due to the southern sun position. Use a polarized filter if taking photos. During evening flights, you may catch a beautiful sunset over the trailing wing as you approach Poznań from the west.
