WROORK

Which side of the plane to sit from Copernicus Wrocław Airport (Wroclaw) to Cork Airport (Cork)?

Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for major urban landmarks, including the London skyline and the Severn Estuary, while providing excellent views of the Welsh coastline before crossing the Celtic Sea.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🇩🇪

Leipzig and Central Germany

Clear views of the industrial heartland and the Elbe River snaking through the plains.

🌇

London Metropolitan Area

On many flight paths, the sprawl of London and the Thames Estuary are visible to the north.

🌉

Severn Estuary

The massive bridges connecting England and Wales, with the dramatic tidal shifts of the Bristol Channel.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

South Wales Coast

The rolling green hills of the Brecon Beacons and the industrial ports of Cardiff and Swansea.

☘️

County Waterford

The first point of Irish landfall, featuring the Copper Coast's stunning geological formations.

Choose the right side for the best chance to see the London skyline and the Welsh mountains. During winter months, this side experiences less direct glare from the low southern sun, making it easier to take photos of the landscape.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Wrocław Old Town

Immediately after takeoff, catch a glimpse of the Market Square and the winding Oder River.

⛰️

Ore Mountains

The rugged border region between Poland, Germany, and the Czech Republic visible to the south.

🌊

English Channel

Expansive views of the busy shipping lanes and the distant French coastline.

🏝️

Isle of Wight

The distinct diamond shape of the island off the southern coast of England.

⚓

Cork Harbour

One of the largest natural harbours in the world, featuring Roche's Point Lighthouse during the final approach.

Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is better for spotting the French coast across the Channel and provides a dramatic view of the Irish coastline's rugged cliffs just before landing.
