Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a magnificent panorama of the Dolomites shortly after takeoff, followed by clear views of Prague and the Sudetes mountains.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
⛰️

The Dolomites

Unrivaled views of the jagged, pale peaks of the Italian Alps within the first 20 minutes of flight.

🏰

Prague Skyline

The historic 'City of a Hundred Spires' is often visible as the route traverses the Czech Republic.

🏔️

Karkonosze Mountains

View the highest peaks of the Sudetes range along the border of Czechia and Poland.

⛪

Wrocław and the Oder

The sprawling city of bridges and its cathedral island visible from cruising altitude.

⚓

Gdańsk Bay

During the final descent, catch views of the Baltic Sea coastline and the industrial ports of the Tri-City area.

The right side is superior for geological enthusiasts; the Dolomites are a major highlight. For the best lighting on the mountains, book an early morning flight. During descent into GDN, look for the Vistula Spit extending into the Baltic Sea.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏔️

Bavarian Alps

Dramatic views of the northern slopes of the Alps as the plane crosses into Germany.

🏙️

Munich Metropolitan Area

A bird's-eye view of the Bavarian capital and its distinctive Allianz Arena on clear days.

🌲

Central German Forests

Expansive green landscapes of the Thuringian and Saxon woodlands.

🌊

Warta River Basin

The meandering river paths and lakes surrounding the city of Poznań.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the western sun. It provides an excellent perspective of the German-Polish border region and the flat, scenic plains of Western Poland.
