WAW β LPL
Which side of the plane to sit from Warsaw Chopin Airport (Warsaw) to Liverpool John Lennon Airport (Liverpool)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Frisian Islands along the Dutch coast and a more dramatic entry into Northern England via the Humber Estuary.
West Frisian Islands
A stunning view of the island chain and the Wadden Sea as the flight leaves the European mainland.
Offshore Wind Farms
Massive arrays of turbines visible in the North Sea, appearing like white dots against the blue water.
Humber Estuary
The distinctive shape of the Humber Bridge and the Spurn Point sand spit as you cross the UK coast.
Yorkshire Coastline
The rugged cliffs and sandy beaches of Eastern England during the transition from sea to land.
Manchester Urban Area
The dense sprawl of the Greater Manchester area is often visible just before the final turn into LPL.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun remains on the opposite side of the aircraft. About 60 minutes into the flight, watch for the unique sandbars of the Wadden Sea. In clear weather, the contrast between the North Sea and the English coast is a highlight.
Warsaw Skyline
Excellent views of the Vistula River and the Palace of Culture and Science shortly after takeoff.
PoznaΕ
The plane typically passes just south of this historic Polish city, offering a clear view of its urban layout.
Harz Mountains
Distant views to the south of Northern Germany's highest mountain range, often snow-capped in winter.
Dutch Polders
The intricate geometric patterns of reclaimed agricultural land in the eastern Netherlands.
Peak District
Green rolling hills and moorlands of the UK's first national park during the descent into Liverpool.
The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff from WAW for the best city views of Warsaw. During winter, look for the contrast of snow on the Harz Mountains to the south.
