BVA → POZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Paris Beauvais Tillé Airport (Beauvais) to Poznań-Ławica Airport (Poznan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft typically offers a more varied landscape, including the rolling Ardennes, the distinct Harz Mountains, and a potential distant view of Berlin's urban sprawl before descending into the Warta River valley.
Ardennes Forest
The thick, dark green canopy of the Belgian and German Ardennes stretching toward the horizon.
Harz Mountains
The granite peaks of northern Germany, including the Brocken, which often features snow caps in winter.
Berlin Metropolitan Area
A panoramic view of the German capital's sprawl, often visible about 45-50 minutes into the flight.
Oder River Border
The natural border crossing between Germany and Poland, marked by wide floodplains and wetlands.
Poznań City Center
Excellent views of the Old Town and the Warta River if the flight approaches POZ from the east.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct sun. Keep your camera ready about an hour into the flight for the Harz Mountains. During the descent, the approach often passes south of the city, providing a clear view of the historic Stary Rynek (Old Market Square) if the wind is coming from the west.
Picardy Plateaus
Vast agricultural landscapes and historic battlefields of northern France visible shortly after takeoff from BVA.
Brussels Urban Area
Views of the dense Belgian capital and the surrounding urban corridors if the route tracks slightly north.
Rhine River Crossing
The winding silver ribbon of the Rhine River as the flight enters German airspace near Duisburg.
North German Wind Farms
Extensive arrays of wind turbines dotting the flat landscape of Lower Saxony.
Greater Poznań Lakes
Numerous small glacial lakes scattered across the Greater Poland region during the final descent.
Choose the left side for soft, indirect lighting during afternoon flights. Look for the distinct geometric patterns of Dutch and German drainage canals near the border. In the final 20 minutes, watch for the transition from German forests to the agricultural heartland of Poland.
