Our Recommendation
7.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior view of the European mainland, including the diverse landscapes of Lithuania, the sprawling German coastline, and the dense urban clusters of the Netherlands before the final approach over the UK's Humber region.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏰

Vilnius Old Town

Immediate views of the red-roofed historic center and the Neris River looping through the city during ascent.

🌊

Kuronian Spit

If the path takes a southern track, you can spot the unique, narrow sand dune spit separating the lagoon from the Baltic Sea.

⚓

Hamburg & Elbe River

Visible as you cross Northern Germany; look for the massive port infrastructure and the winding Elbe river system.

🇳🇱

Dutch Polders

Intricate geometric patterns of reclaimed land and canals near the Groningen and Friesland provinces.

🌉

Humber Bridge

A clear view of this iconic suspension bridge as the aircraft crosses the UK coastline near Hull during the descent.

Choose a window seat behind the wing for unobstructed views of the European coastline. Morning flights provide excellent lighting from the rear, while afternoon flights may face some glare as the sun moves south-west. Watch for the dramatic change in topography from the flat Baltic plains to the North Sea.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
🏖️

Baltic Shoreline

Panoramic views of the pristine white-sand beaches along the Lithuanian and Latvian borders shortly after takeoff.

🏝️

Frisian Islands

A stunning chain of sandy islands along the Dutch and German coasts, surrounded by the unique Wadden Sea mudflats.

🛢️

North Sea Oil Rigs

During the mid-flight crossing, look for isolated platforms and wind farms dotting the deep blue North Sea.

🏜️

Spurn Point

The distinct, narrow sand spit at the mouth of the Humber Estuary, a prominent landmark for pilots entering UK airspace.

🌳

Yorkshire Wolds

The rolling green hills and chalk landscapes of East Yorkshire visible during the final approach into DSA.

The right side is ideal for spotting the unique geography of the Frisian archipelago and maritime traffic in the North Sea. For the best photography of Spurn Point and the Yorkshire coast, use a fast shutter speed to compensate for the lower altitude during the descent phase.
