Which side of the plane to sit from Modlin Airport (Warsaw) to Shannon Airport (Shannon)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most diverse scenery, including views of major metropolitan areas like Berlin and London, the rugged terrain of North Wales, and a spectacular final approach over the Shannon Estuary.
Berlin Urban Area
A clear view of the German capital, including the iconic TV Tower (Fernsehturm) and the sprawling Tiergarten.
Dutch Coastline
The intricate network of dikes, polders, and the North Sea ports near the Netherlands.
Greater London
On typical southern routings, the right side provides a panoramic view of the Thames meandering through London.
Snowdonia National Park
The dramatic, rugged peaks of North Wales, including Snowdon, before crossing the Irish Sea.
Shannon Estuary
A breathtaking descent over the wide estuary where the River Shannon meets the Atlantic Ocean, featuring jagged cliffs and islands.
Choose the right side for the 'Wild Atlantic Way' arrival. During the final 20 minutes of the flight, the aircraft often banks over the Shannon Estuary, offering world-class views of the Irish coastline. Evening flights offer a chance to witness a spectacular sunset over the Atlantic as you approach Shannon.
Warsaw Cityscape
Distant views of the Palace of Culture and Science and Warsaw's growing skyscraper cluster shortly after takeoff from Modlin.
Harz Mountains
Dense forests and granite peaks of Northern Germany's highest mountain range.
English Channel Coast
The southern coastline of England, including glimpses of the Isle of Wight and the Solent on clear days.
Munster Landscape
The rolling green fields of County Waterford and County Tipperary as the aircraft crosses into Irish airspace.
Sit on the left to avoid the harsh afternoon sun when flying westward. This side provides a more stable lighting environment for photography of the patchwork fields of rural Poland and Germany.
