VNO → LPL
Which side of the plane to sit from Vilnius International Airport (Vilnius) to Liverpool John Lennon Airport (Liverpool)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior coastal views of the Baltic and North Seas, the unique Frisian Islands, and the most iconic aerial perspective of the Liverpool city skyline and the Mersey Estuary during the final approach.
Baltic Coastline
Distant views of the Curonian Spit and the white sandy beaches of the Lithuanian and Kaliningrad coast.
The Frisian Islands
The striking chain of barrier islands along the Dutch and German coasts, separated by the Wadden Sea mudflats.
North Sea Wind Farms
Massive offshore wind installations appearing as geometric patterns of white dots against the deep blue sea.
Liverpool City & Docks
Unmatched views of the Three Graces, the Royal Albert Dock, and the famous football stadiums when landing on Runway 27.
Choose the right side for the most dramatic entry into the UK. As the flight approaches Liverpool, you will typically track north of the city before turning back; this side offers the perfect angle of the Mersey Estuary and the historic waterfront. Keep an eye out for the distinctive 'W' shape of the Frisian Islands roughly 70-80 minutes into the flight.
Vilnius Old Town
Aerial views of the UNESCO World Heritage site's red-tiled roofs and baroque steeples immediately after takeoff.
Masurian Lake District
Glimpses of Poland's 'Land of a Thousand Lakes' with its intricate network of waterways and dense forests.
North German Plains
Vast stretches of agricultural land and distant views of major urban centers like Hamburg or Hanover to the south.
The Peak District
The rugged green plateaus and rolling limestone valleys of one of England's most famous national parks during descent.
The left side is ideal for catching the sun-drenched landscapes of central Europe during mid-day flights. It provides a better perspective of the inland English countryside as you cross from the East Midlands toward the Mersey. To avoid glare during the flight, this side is preferable for afternoon westward journeys.
