WMI → LPL
Which side of the plane to sit from Modlin Airport (Warsaw) to Liverpool John Lennon Airport (Liverpool)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side offers a more diverse landscape, featuring views of major European capitals like Warsaw and Berlin, and a more dramatic approach over the Mersey Estuary into Liverpool.
Warsaw Skyline
Looking south shortly after takeoff from Modlin, you can see the high-rises of the Polish capital.
Berlin & Brandenburg
Aerial views of the German capital and the surrounding forests and lakes of the Brandenburg region.
Dutch Polders
The intricate, geometric patterns of reclaimed land and canals as you pass over the Netherlands.
Peak District
The rolling green hills and dales of northern England's first National Park during the descent.
Mersey Estuary
A sweeping view of the Mersey River and the Wirral Peninsula as the plane turns for final approach.
Sit on the left for the best chance of seeing the sun set over the North Sea on evening flights. During the final 10 minutes, this side provides the most iconic views of the Liverpool waterfront and docks if the plane approaches from the east.
Vistula River
Follow the winding path of Poland's longest river as it heads north toward the Baltic Sea.
Frisian Islands
The unique chain of islands and the Wadden Sea mudflats along the German and Dutch coasts.
North Sea Wind Farms
Vast arrays of offshore wind turbines standing out against the deep blue of the North Sea.
The Wash
The distinctively shaped square bay on the east coast of England, a haven for wildlife.
Manchester Urban Area
The sprawling skyline of Greater Manchester is often clearly visible just before reaching Liverpool.
The right side is ideal for coastal enthusiasts. In clear weather, you can see the distinctive coastline of the Low Countries. For morning flights, this side will be shaded, which is better for glare-free photography of the North Sea shipping lanes.
