BVA → KRK
Which side of the plane to sit from Paris Beauvais Tillé Airport (Beauvais) to Kraków John Paul II International Airport (Krakow)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Central European highlands, the Bohemian basin, and the spectacular approach over the Vistula River valley toward the Tatra Mountains.
Thuringian Forest
A vast, continuous green canopy covering the mountains of central Germany.
Prague Panorama
The flight path often passes south of the Czech capital, providing a distant view of its historic spires.
Krkonoše Mountains
The highest range of the Sudetes, often snow-capped during winter and spring months.
Vistula River Meanders
Beautiful views of Poland's longest river as it snakes toward the historic center of Krakow during descent.
Sit on the right for the best perspective of the Bohemian landscape. During the final approach, look southeast to spot the high Tatra Mountains on the horizon if the air is clear. Afternoon flights provide excellent golden-hour lighting on the Czech and Polish hills.
Picardy Farmlands
Expansive views of the neatly partitioned agricultural heartland of northern France shortly after takeoff.
Frankfurt Skyline
On a clear day, the high-rise financial district of Frankfurt am Main is visible to the north.
Saxon Switzerland
Dramatic sandstone mountains and the Elbe Sandstone Mountains near the German-Czech border.
Upper Silesian Industrial Region
The dense urban and industrial landscape of Katowice and Gliwice as you enter Polish airspace.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and to get a better view of the industrial heart of Central Europe. Look for the winding Elbe river during the midpoint of the flight.
