Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft typically offers a better view of the London skyline during the initial climb out of Stansted, followed by a more scenic approach into Wroclaw, including views of the city's iconic landmarks and the distant Sudetes mountains.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Greater London

Distant but distinct views of the Canary Wharf skyline and the O2 Arena shortly after takeoff.

🏭

Ruhr Industrial Area

The massive urban and industrial sprawl of Western Germany, fascinating at night when lit up.

🏔️

Sudetes Mountains

On clear days, the Karkonosze range and Sniezka peak are visible to the south before landing.

🗼

Wroclaw Sky Tower

The tallest building in Poland outside Warsaw is a primary landmark on the descent into WRO.

⛪

Old Town Square

The colorful Gothic and Renaissance buildings of Wroclaw's Rynek are often visible during the final turn.

Choose the right side for sunset flights to catch the 'Golden Hour' over the Sudetes. During the approach into Wroclaw, the aircraft often circles the city from the south, giving the right side an incredible panoramic view of the historic center and the Odra River bridges.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Thames Estuary

Aerial view of the Essex coastline and the transition into the North Sea.

🇳🇱

Dutch Coastline

Clear views of the intricate dike systems and polders of the Netherlands.

🚢

Hamburg & Elbe River

Depending on the northern corridor, you may spot the massive container ports of Hamburg.

🌲

Lower Silesian Forest

Dense, dark green pine forests that dominate the landscape as you enter Polish airspace.

Sit on the left for softer lighting and better photography conditions during midday flights, as you will be facing away from the sun. Look out for the Frisian Islands if the flight path takes a more northerly route over the North Sea.
