Which side of the plane to sit from Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (Bologna) to Modlin Airport (Warsaw)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unrivaled panoramic view of the Venetian Lagoon and the most dramatic, jagged peaks of the Dolomites UNESCO heritage site.
Venetian Lagoon
On clear days, the unmistakable silhouette of Venice and the surrounding islands are visible to the east.
The Dolomites
The iconic jagged limestone peaks and deep valleys provide some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in Europe.
Hohe Tauern
Aerial views of Austria's highest peaks, including glaciers and turquoise alpine reservoirs.
Brno
The historical capital of Moravia with its Spilberk Castle can be seen as you fly over the Czech Republic.
Warsaw Skyline
During the final approach to Modlin, the distant high-rises of Warsaw and the Palace of Culture and Science often appear.
The right side is unbeatable for the first 30 minutes of the flight. For the best photography of the Dolomites, choose a morning flight when the sun illuminates the eastern rock faces. Be ready with your camera immediately after takeoff from Bologna.
Lake Garda
Italy's largest lake is often visible on the left shortly after departure as you head north over the Po Valley.
Central Alps
Spectacular views of the glacier-capped mountains along the Italian-Austrian border.
Salzburg
The historic city of Mozart and its prominent hilltop fortress are visible as you cross into Austria.
Bohemian Massif
Dense, dark forests and rolling hills of the Czech Republic stretch out toward the horizon.
Vistula River Meanders
Observe the winding path of Poland's longest river as the plane begins its descent into the Mazovian region.
Sit on the left for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. This side is superior for spotting the high-altitude lakes of the Salzkammergut region in Austria and the transition from the Alps to the Central European plains.
