WMI → MAN
Which side of the plane to sit from Modlin Airport (Warsaw) to Manchester Airport (Manchester)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the Dutch coastline, the Wadden Sea islands, and a more dramatic entry into Northern England over the Humber Estuary and the Peak District.

Vistula River
Excellent views of Poland's longest river winding through the Masovian landscape immediately after departure.
Wadden Sea
The unique UNESCO-listed tidal flats and the chain of West Frisian Islands along the Dutch coast.
Humber Bridge
One of the world's longest suspension bridges visible as the flight crosses the English coast near Hull.
Peak District
Dramatic moorlands, limestone dales, and reservoirs of the national park during the final descent into Manchester.
Greater Manchester
On many approach paths, you can spot the Etihad Stadium or Old Trafford just before touchdown.
The right side is essential for seeing the North Sea coastline. In winter, look for snow-dusted moorlands in the Peak District. For the best photography, choose a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze.

Warsaw Skyline
Distant views of the Palace of Culture and Science and city skyscrapers shortly after takeoff from Modlin.
Harz Mountains
Dense forest canopies and the Brocken peak visible when flying over Central Germany.
Ruhr Valley
A dense urban and industrial landscape visible as you traverse toward the Dutch border.
The Wash
The distinct square-shaped bay on the East Anglian coast as you cross from the North Sea into UK airspace.
The Midlands
Classic English patchwork fields and small market towns during the initial descent phase.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights, as the sun will be behind the aircraft. Watch for the industrial lights of the Ruhr area during night flights, which create a sprawling amber glow.
