BRS → KRK
Which side of the plane to sit from Bristol Airport (Bristol) to Kraków John Paul II International Airport (Krakow)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a more diverse landscape, including views of the English South Coast, the Belgian heartland, and the prominent mountain ranges along the Czech-Polish border during the final approach.
Mendip Hills
Immediate views of Somerset's dramatic limestone ridges and gorges upon takeoff from BRS.
White Cliffs of Dover
Iconic chalk cliffs and the bustling ferry port visible as you cross the English Channel.
Brussels Cityscape
The European capital's urban layout and the distinctive Atomium monument can often be spotted.
The Giant Mountains
The Karkonosze range on the Polish-Czech border, often snow-capped during winter months.
Kraków Old Town
On the final approach to runway 25, you can often see the Wawel Castle and the Vistula River.
The right side is ideal for mountain lovers; as you enter Poland, keep an eye out for the Sudetes and the distant Tatras to the south. For evening flights, this side provides excellent sunset views over the wing while cruising across central Europe.
The Cotswolds
Rolling limestone hills and golden-stone villages visible shortly after departing Bristol.
Greater London
A sprawling view of the northern London suburbs and the M25 orbital motorway.
Thames Estuary
The widening river meeting the North Sea with visible shipping lanes and wind farms.
The Ruhr Valley
Germany's industrial heartland, characterized by dense urban clusters and river ports.
Wrocław
The historic 'City of bridges' in western Poland, identifiable by its island-filled Oder River.
Choose this side if you prefer views of the North Sea coastline and the flatter, agrarian landscapes of Northern Germany. It is particularly scenic during morning flights when the sun is behind you, reducing glare on the window.
