Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior view of the Baltic coastline, the Gulf of Riga, and the most iconic views of Tallinn's medieval Old Town and harbor during the final descent into Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Warsaw Cityscape

Panoramic views of the Vistula River and the downtown skyscrapers immediately after departure from WAW.

💧

Masurian Lake District

Aerial perspective of the Land of a Thousand Lakes in Northeastern Poland, featuring glaciated terrain.

🌊

Gulf of Riga

Dramatic views of the Latvian coast and the vast expanse of the Baltic Sea as the plane tracks north.

🏰

Tallinn Old Town

A clear view of the UNESCO World Heritage medieval center and the Port of Tallinn on the approach to Runway 08.

🚢

Naissaar and Aegna

Small scenic islands in the Gulf of Finland visible during the northern approach pattern.

Opt for the left side for sunset flights to enjoy the glow over the Baltic Sea. During winter, look for beautiful ice patterns forming along the Estonian coast and the Gulf of Riga. This side is also optimal for photography of the Tallinn shoreline.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌲

Biebrza National Park

Vast wetlands and dense forests of Podlaskie visible as you head toward the Lithuanian border.

🏘️

Kaunas Surroundings

Green landscapes and rural settlements of Central Lithuania as the route follows the Via Baltica corridor.

🛶

Gauja River Valley

The winding river and forested hills of Latvia's premier national park visible to the east of the flight path.

✈️

Lake Ülemiste

The massive lake located directly adjacent to Tallinn Airport, providing a unique close-up just before landing.

The right side is best for observing the inland forests and lake systems of the Baltics. It is particularly scenic during the 'Golden Hour' in summer, when the Estonian forests turn a deep, vibrant green. Watch for Lake Ülemiste just seconds before touchdown.
