Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior vantage point for the forested Ardennes, the rugged Harz Mountains, and the striking Warsaw skyline during the approach to Modlin.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌳

Ardennes Forest

Stunning views of the deep valleys and dense canopy of the Ardennes crossing into Germany.

🏔️

Harz Mountains

The scenic Brocken peak and the northernmost central German uplands are often visible.

🏙️

Leipzig Urban Area

The sprawling city of Leipzig and its surrounding open-cast mine-turned-lakes.

🌊

Vistula River Valley

Follow the winding path of Poland's longest river as the aircraft begins its descent.

🌇

Warsaw Cityscape

On the final approach to Modlin, the distant high-rises of Warsaw are typically visible to the south.

This is the preferred side for sunset flights, as the light hits the Harz mountains and Polish plains beautifully. During the descent, look south to spot the iconic Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw. In winter, the snow-covered Ardennes are a major highlight.

🏙️

Poznań Skyline

Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy soft lighting without glare. It offers the best views of the countless lakes in the Brandenburg region before crossing into Poland. Watch for the distinct grid patterns of the German countryside.
