What does the Gdansk to London flight path pass over?
The flight path crosses the North Sea at roughly 52°N latitude. Midway, passengers on either side may glimpse the Frisian Islands (German and Dutch coasts) far to the south on clear days, though they typically appear as distant low features on the horizon. The North Sea itself dominates the view for roughly 90 minutes—a vast expanse of open water with occasional shipping traffic visible as small dots. As the aircraft approaches the English coast near Norfolk or Suffolk, the flat East Anglian landscape becomes visible, followed by the gradual transition into the rolling terrain of the Midlands and then the Weald of southeast England.
