BGYKRK

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior perspective of the jagged Dolomites shortly after takeoff and a spectacular panoramic view of the High Tatra Mountains during the descent into Krakow.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
⛰️

The Dolomites

Iconic limestone massifs like Marmolada and Tre Cime di Lavaredo visible shortly after departure from BGY.

❄️

Grossglockner

Austria's highest peak and the Pasterze Glacier can be spotted in the distance to the south.

🏙️

Vienna and Bratislava

A unique perspective of two European capitals located in close proximity along the Danube.

🌲

Little Carpathians

The beginning of the Carpathian mountain arc stretching across the Slovakian border.

🏔️

High Tatra Mountains

Dramatic, snow-capped jagged peaks marking the border between Slovakia and Poland during the descent.

For the best experience, sit on the right for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare while viewing the Alps. The view of the Tatras on the approach to KRK is highly dependent on cloud cover; check the weather for Zakopane to gauge visibility.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏞️

Lake Garda

Aerial views of Italy's largest lake and its narrow northern fjord-like tip during the initial climb.

🏔️

Zillertal Alps

Glaciated peaks along the Italian-Austrian border visible as the plane reaches cruising altitude.

💧

Danube River

The winding silver thread of the Danube as it flows through the plains of Lower Austria.

🏰

Brno Skyline

The historic center of the Moravian capital, including the hilltop Špilberk Castle.

🏭

Silesian Basin

The vast industrial and urban landscape of the Ostrava and Katowice metropolitan areas.

Choose a window seat for late afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset reflecting off the Alpine glaciers. This side is typically better for seeing the sprawling urban lights of the Czech and Polish industrial heartlands during night flights.
