Our Recommendation
7.9

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for coastal geography, including the Frisian Islands, the Wadden Sea tidal flats, and the dramatic entry into the UK via the Humber Estuary.

Right Side Highlights
7.9
🏙️

Wrocław Old Town

A stunning aerial perspective of the Oder River islands and the historic Market Square upon departure.

🏝️

Frisian Islands

The beautiful chain of sandy islands stretching along the German and Dutch coastlines.

🌊

Wadden Sea

A UNESCO World Heritage site featuring unique tidal patterns and sandbanks visible from high altitude.

🌬️

North Sea Wind Farms

Massive offshore renewable energy arrays appearing as geometric white dots in the deep blue water.

🌉

Humber Bridge

One of the world's longest single-span suspension bridges, marking the arrival at the English coast.

⚓

Port of Hull

Busy maritime docks and shipping lanes active along the northern bank of the Humber.

Sit on the right for the best coastal and maritime views. Afternoon flights are ideal for this side as the sun will be behind the aircraft, lighting up the North Sea islands perfectly. Watch for 'Spurn Point', a narrow sand spit, as you cross from sea to land.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
⛰️

Sudetes Mountains

Distant views of the Karkonosze range on the Polish-Czech border shortly after takeoff.

🛶

IJsselmeer

The largest lake in the Netherlands, visible as a massive expanse of water south of the flight path.

🌾

Lincolnshire Wolds

Rolling green hills and designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Eastern England.

🏗️

Industrial Landscapes

The sprawling steelworks of Scunthorpe, providing a stark industrial contrast to the rural surroundings.

🌆

Sheffield Skyline

Clear views of the 'Steel City' and its hilly outskirts during the final descent phase.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is also better for spotting the distant mountain ranges in Central Europe and the patchwork fields of the English Midlands. Look out for the IJsselmeer when crossing the Dutch border.
