VNO โ DTM
Which side of the plane to sit from Vilnius International Airport (Vilnius) to Dortmund Airport (Dortmund)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for viewing the Baltic Sea coastline, the stunning Hel Peninsula, the historic city of Gdansk, and the transition from the North German Plain into the Ruhr region.
Baltic Coastline
Stunning views of the sandy beaches and coastal lagoons that line the southern edge of the Baltic Sea.
Gdansk & Hel Peninsula
A clear view of the unique 35km long sandbar of the Hel Peninsula and the industrial shipyards of Gdansk.
Szczecin Lagoon
The massive coastal lagoon on the border of Poland and Germany, where the Oder River meets the sea.
City of Bremen
Aerial perspective of this historic Hanseatic city and the Weser River winding through its center.
Mรผnsterland Castles
A patchwork of green fields dotted with historic moated castles characteristic of the Westphalia region.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare while capturing the bright blue of the Baltic Sea. Watch for the Hel Peninsula shortly after leaving Lithuanian airspace. This side is also best for seeing the container ports of Northern Germany if the flight path stays north of the Weser River.
Masurian Lake District
A glimpse of the 'Land of a Thousand Lakes' in northeastern Poland with its dense forests and interconnected waterways.
Vistula River
The winding path of Poland's longest river as it cuts through the agricultural heartland of the country.
Harz Mountains
If the flight path is southerly, the Brocken peak and the northernmost mountain range of Germany appear on the horizon.
Teutoburg Forest
A prominent ridge of forested hills that stretches across the landscape shortly before beginning the descent.
Arnsberg Forest
Dense woodland areas of the Sauerland region visible during the final approach into Dortmund.
Sit on the left for sunset views during evening flights, as the sun will be positioned to the southwest. This side provides a better look at the rolling hills of the German interior as you approach the destination. During winter, look for the snow-capped ridges of the Harz Mountains in the distance.
