Which side of the plane to sit from Vilnius International Airport (Vilnius) to Brussels South Charleroi Airport (Charleroi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is preferred as it typically offers a direct view of Berlin's urban landscape and the stunning Masurian Lake District while avoiding the harsh direct sunlight of the southern sky.
Masurian Lake District
A mosaic of over 2,000 lakes and dense forests in northeastern Poland.
Berlin Urban Core
Clear views of the TV Tower, Reichstag, and the sprawling Tempelhof Field.
Sanssouci Park
The grand Prussian palaces and gardens of Potsdam visible just west of Berlin.
Elbe River Crossing
The wide river valley near Magdeburg, a major historic waterway in Germany.
Rhine-Ruhr Region
Dense urban sprawl and industrial infrastructure as the plane crosses the Rhine.
Liรจge City
The winding Meuse River and the steep hills of the 'Ardent City' in eastern Belgium.
Sit approximately 3-5 rows behind the wing to ensure your view of Berlin isn't blocked by the engine. The city usually appears roughly 60 to 70 minutes into the flight. This side is also best for winter flights to catch the 'blue hour' lighting over the German plains.
Vilnius Old Town
Aerial views of the largest Baroque Old Town in Eastern Europe shortly after takeoff.
Nemunas River Loops
Dramatic winding turns of Lithuania's largest river near the Polish border.
Poznaล Skyline
The historic Polish city known for its colorful Renaissance market square and cathedral.
Harz Mountains
Distant views of the Brocken peak and the northernmost mountain range in Germany.
Sambre Valley
The industrial heritage and steel plants of the Walloon region approaching Charleroi.
On this westbound route, the sun will be on the left for most of the day, which can cause significant window glare. For the best photography of the Lithuanian and Polish countryside, choose an early morning flight when the sun is lower and behind the aircraft.
