Which side of the plane to sit from Paris Beauvais Tillé Airport (Beauvais) to Modlin Airport (Warsaw)?
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.
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.
Belgian Landscapes
Overhead views of the dense urban corridors and rolling hills of the Walloon region.
Westphalian Plains
A vast expanse of agricultural patterns and the northern fringes of Germany's industrial heartland.
Brandenburg Lakes
Numerous glacial lakes surrounding the Berlin area, glistening in the sunlight.
Poznań Skyline
A clear view of the historic center and the Warta river crossing through Poznań.
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.
