BHX β KTW
Which side of the plane to sit from Birmingham International Airport (Birmingham) to Katowice International Airport (Katowice)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of urban landmarks, major industrial hubs, and the scenic mountain ranges of Central Europe as you approach Poland.
Greater London
On a clear day, the northern sprawl of the UK's capital is visible shortly after takeoff.
Europort Rotterdam
One of the world's largest and most complex port systems along the Dutch coast.
The Ruhr Valley
Germany's industrial heartland, featuring a dense network of cities and factories.
Sudetes Mountains
Beautiful mountain views along the Czech-Polish border during the descent.
Silesian Urban Area
The dense industrial and residential landscape surrounding Katowice and ChorzΓ³w.
The right side is best for seeing the industrial scale of Europe. Try to book an evening flight to see the brilliant lights of the Ruhr area in Germany. During descent, look south to see the snow-capped Beskids or Sudetes mountains if traveling in winter.
The Wash Estuary
Observe the distinct square-shaped bay and wetlands on the east coast of England.
West Frisian Islands
A beautiful chain of islands stretching along the Dutch coastline into Germany.
Northern German Plains
Vast agricultural landscapes and the occasional glimpse of cities like Hanover or Bremen.
Oder River
The natural border between Germany and Poland, visible as a winding silver ribbon.
Great for coastal enthusiasts. In the morning, you will have the sun behind you, providing excellent visibility of the Frisian Islands and the North Sea coastline. Keep an eye out for the intricate patterns of wind farms in the German Bight.
