BRU → WRO
Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels Airport (Brussels) to Copernicus Wrocław Airport (Wroclaw)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a more dramatic landscape transition, moving from the rolling Ardennes and the Rhine Valley to the dense Thuringian Forest and the striking Sudetes mountain range near the destination.
The Ardennes
Scenic views of the forested plateau and winding river valleys in Wallonia as you exit Belgian airspace.
Middle Rhine Valley
Depending on the specific flight corridor, you may spot the iconic Rhine river and its surrounding vineyard-covered hills.
Thuringian Forest
A vast, continuous stretch of dark green forest in central Germany that looks particularly stunning in autumn.
Dresden and the Elbe
The 'Florence on the Elbe' is visible with its distinct river loops and reconstructed historic center.
Sudetes Mountains
The Krkonose (Giant Mountains) range provides a spectacular backdrop on the right horizon as the plane approaches Wroclaw.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the mountains. Keep an eye out for the distinctive Elbe River bends near Dresden, which signal that you are about 20 minutes from landing.
Low Countries Urban Sprawl
Aerial views of the densely populated regions of Flanders and the southern Netherlands shortly after takeoff.
The Ruhr Valley
A massive industrial corridor in Germany featuring a continuous carpet of cities like Duisburg, Essen, and Dortmund.
Leipzig Cityscape
Clear views of the Red Bull Arena and the surrounding Neuseenland, a series of lakes formed from old open-cast mines.
Lower Silesian Plains
The patchwork of agricultural fields and small villages characteristic of southwestern Poland during the final descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid glare from the southern sun. This side is better for those interested in industrial geography and the transition between Western and Central European urban planning.
