Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Frisian Islands along the Dutch coast and the dramatic approach into Liverpool over the Mersey Estuary.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏘️

Berlin Skyline

A panoramic view of Berlin's city center and the TV Tower depending on the specific takeoff vector.

🏝️

Wadden Sea & Islands

Stunning views of the West Frisian Islands and the unique tidal patterns of the Wadden Sea.

🌊

North Sea Crossing

Vast expanses of water dotted with massive offshore wind farms and busy shipping lanes.

🏞️

Yorkshire Dales

The rolling green hills and stone walls of the Northern English countryside as the plane crosses the coast.

🚢

Mersey Estuary

The iconic approach into Liverpool John Lennon Airport, flying low over the water with views of the Wirral Peninsula.

The right side is highly recommended for coastal scenery. For morning flights, you will have the sun behind you, providing perfect lighting for photos of the Frisian Islands. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes for the descent over the Mersey.

🏙️

Magdeburg and the Elbe

Early views of the Elbe River winding through the historic city of Magdeburg shortly after takeoff.

🎡

Manchester Skyline

On clear days, the skyscrapers of Manchester are visible just before the final approach into Liverpool.

Choose the left side for better views of the German interior and the urban centers of the UK. Be aware that during afternoon flights, this side will be directly facing the sun, which may cause glare.
