STN → RZE
Which side of the plane to sit from London Stansted Airport (London) to Rzeszów-Jasionka Airport (Rzeszow)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a more scenic journey across the heart of Europe, featuring the Rhine River, the distant peaks of the Sudetes mountains, and the striking silhouette of the High Tatras on clear days as you approach Southeastern Poland.
Greater London
Depending on departure direction, views of the London skyline and the O2 Arena in the distance.
The Rhine River
The winding path of the Rhine as it cuts through western Germany near Cologne and Bonn.
Sudetes Mountains
The rugged ridge of the Sudetes mountains forming the natural border between Poland and the Czech Republic.
Kraków & Wisła
Clear views of the Wisła river winding through Southern Poland shortly before the descent begins.
High Tatras
On clear days, the jagged, snow-capped peaks of the High Tatras are visible on the southern horizon.
This is the 'sunny' side for an eastbound flight. For the best photography, a late afternoon flight provides golden hour light over the Carpathian foothills. Keep your eyes south during the final 20 minutes of flight to spot the highest peaks in Poland. The approach into Rzeszów often banks over the Wisła river, providing excellent low-altitude views.
Essex Coastline
Dramatic views of the Thames Estuary and the North Sea coast during the initial climb from Stansted.
Dutch Polders
The intricate patchwork of reclaimed land, canals, and windmills as you cross the Netherlands.
Ruhr Valley
A bird's-eye view of Germany's industrial heartland, showing the dense network of cities and infrastructure.
Wrocław Cityscape
Visual of the historic 'City of a Hundred Bridges' and its colorful Market Square from high altitude.
Polish Lowlands
Vast, undulating agricultural landscapes that characterize the approach into the Subcarpathian region.
Sit here for softer lighting on morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is better for spotting the North Sea shipping lanes and the sprawling urban centers of Northern Germany. During winter, look for the frost-covered plains of Poland which create a beautiful silver sheen.
