Which side of the plane to sit from Barcelona International Airport (Barcelona) to Modlin Airport (Warsaw)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring the stunning Mediterranean coastline upon departure followed by a direct path across the most dramatic sections of the European Alps.
Costa Brava
Spectacular aerial views of the Mediterranean coastline and the rugged cliffs of northeastern Catalonia.
High Alps
Unrivaled perspectives of snow-capped peaks, including views toward Mont Blanc and the Swiss massifs.
Lake Constance
The vast blue expanse where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet, visible during the mid-flight transit.
Munich and Bavaria
Detailed views of the Bavarian capital and the distinctive green landscapes of southern Germany.
Prague Cityscape
Depending on the specific airway, the historic spires of the Czech capital can often be spotted.
Vistula River
The serpentine curves of Poland's primary waterway as the aircraft maneuvers for landing at Modlin.
This is the 'scenic side' for Alpine enthusiasts. For the best photography, choose a seat behind the wing to capture the winglet against the mountain backdrop. In the morning, expect bright light reflecting off the Mediterranean and Alpine snow.
The Pyrenees
Distant but impressive views of the rugged mountain range separating Spain and France.
Lyon Metropolitan Area
A clear view of the confluence of the Rhรดne and Saรดne rivers in central France.
German Rhine Valley
Glimpses of the winding Rhine river and the dense forests of the Black Forest region.
Silesian Lowlands
The expansive agricultural tapestry of southwestern Poland as the plane begins its descent.
Sit toward the front of the cabin to minimize wing obstruction. This side is preferable during late afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun while viewing the French and German landscapes.
