Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a more diverse range of landmarks, including potential views of the Baltic coastline, the sprawling urban center of Berlin, and the industrial heart of the Ruhr region before descending into the Picardy countryside.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Baltic Coastline

Distant but sparkling views of the Polish coast and the Bay of Gdańsk shortly after reaching cruise altitude.

🏙️

Metropolitan Berlin

A primary highlight featuring the Spree River, the TV Tower, and the vast green expanse of the Tiergarten.

🏭

Ruhr Industrial Basin

A massive cluster of cities and industrial infrastructure representing Germany's manufacturing heartland.

🌳

Picardie Region

Charming views of the French countryside, characterized by small communes and organized patchwork farmlands.

The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to witness the sunset over Western Europe. Keep a keen eye out approximately 45-60 minutes into the flight for Berlin. Use a window seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the ground features.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏰

Vilnius Old Town

Aerial perspective of the red-roofed UNESCO World Heritage site immediately after departure from VNO.

🏙️

Warsaw Skyline

Depending on the flight path, the Polish capital's skyscrapers and the Vistula River may be visible to the south.

🌲

Teutoburg Forest

Dense ridges of dark green forest stretching across the German states of Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia.

🌾

Somme River Valley

The historic and winding Somme River cutting through the verdant agricultural fields of northern France.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. On clear days, as the plane descends towards Beauvais, look far to the south for a distant silhouette of the Eiffel Tower and the Paris skyline, though it is often obscured by haze.
