Search flights from CRL to KRK
Ardennes Forest
Vast stretches of deep green forests and winding river valleys across Southern Belgium and Luxembourg.
Moselle River & Vineyards
The intricate loops of the Moselle river and the steep, vineyard-clad hills of Western Germany.
Nuremberg Cityscape
A clear view of the historic Bavarian city, easily identifiable by its medieval architecture and ring road.
Bohemian Forest
Crossing the mountainous border region between Germany and the Czech Republic, known for its dense canopy.
High Tatra Mountains
On clear days, the jagged, snow-capped peaks of the Carpathians are visible to the south during the descent into Krakow.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights when the sun is in the west, illuminating the landscape without washing it out. During the final 20 minutes of the flight, look south-east to spot the Tatra Mountains. For the best views of the landing, seats behind the wing offer an unobstructed view of the Vistula river as the plane lines up with the KRK runway.

Namur & Meuse Valley
Shortly after takeoff, view the historic Citadelle of Namur where the Sambre and Meuse rivers converge.
The Ruhr Skyline
Distant views to the north of Germany's massive industrial and urban heartland.
Dresden Elbe Valley
Visible on the horizon mid-flight, showcasing the beautiful Elbe river winding through Saxony.
Silesian Metropolitan Area
As the plane begins its descent, see the dense urban clusters of Katowice and Gliwice.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the southern sun. This side offers better views of the dense urban networks of Northern Germany and the flat plains of the Silesian basin. Keep an eye out for the distinctive cooling towers of several power plants in the Polish industrial region during the descent.
