Warsaw Skyline
Distant but clear views of the Palace of Culture and Science and the Vistula River shortly after takeoff from Modlin.
Harz Mountains
The northernmost mountain range in Germany, featuring Brocken peak, visible during the mid-flight cruise.
Brussels & Flanders
Clear views of the dense urban sprawl of the Belgian capital and the flat, industrial landscapes of Flanders.
English Channel Crossing
The narrowest part of the channel, often showing the White Cliffs of Dover and the busy shipping lanes below.
London Panorama
If the flight path follows the standard approach, you get an incredible view of the Thames, The Shard, and Canary Wharf.
Sit on the left for the best chance of seeing London's landmarks during the descent. On late afternoon flights, this side will experience the sunset, which can be stunning but may cause glare. In winter, the European plains are often snow-covered, making the urban areas stand out more clearly.

Berlin Metropolitan Area
Passing north of the city, you can often see the surrounding Brandenburg lakes and forests.
Dutch Coastline
Aerial views of the massive port of Rotterdam and the intricate dikes and polders of the Netherlands.
North Sea Wind Farms
Vast arrays of offshore wind turbines visible in the North Sea as you approach the UK coast.
The Cotswolds
Rolling green hills and the 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty' as the plane descends into the West Country.
Severn Estuary
The iconic Severn Bridges connecting England and Wales are often visible just before touchdown at Bristol.
Choose the right side on morning flights to have the sun behind you for the best photography conditions. This side is superior for observing the Dutch engineering marvels and the unique geography of the Severn Estuary near Bristol. During clear nights, the lights of Berlin and Rotterdam are particularly vibrant on this side.
