CDG → WAW
Which side of the plane to sit from Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris) to Warsaw Chopin Airport (Warsaw)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a more diverse range of topographical features, including the rolling vineyards of France, the forested hills of central Germany, and a superior view of the Warsaw skyline on many landing patterns.
Champagne Vineyards
The neatly organized rows of world-famous vineyards near Reims are visible shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
Central German Uplands
Dramatic views of the Thuringian Forest and the rolling hills of Hesse, providing a break from the flat plains.
Warsaw City Center
During the final approach into Chopin Airport, this side often catches a stunning view of the Palace of Culture and modern skyscrapers.
Sit on the right side for the best chance to see the Warsaw skyline during the final minutes of flight. Afternoon travelers will enjoy the warm 'golden hour' light over the German forests, perfect for aerial photography.
Paris Environs
Bird's-eye view of the sprawling suburbs and the intricate layout of Charles de Gaulle Airport during the climb.
Northern European Plains
A vast tapestry of colorful agricultural fields stretching across Belgium and northern Germany.
Berlin Distance View
On clear days, the silhouette of the Berlin TV tower and urban sprawl can be seen to the north.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the southern sun. This side provides excellent lighting for capturing the high-contrast patterns of the Polish countryside during the descent.
