CRL โ WAW
Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels South Charleroi Airport (Charleroi) to Warsaw Chopin Airport (Warsaw)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of diverse landscapes including the Ardennes forests, the iconic Rhine River crossing, and a typically better angle for viewing the Warsaw skyline during the final approach.
Ardennes Forest
Rolling green hills and dense woodlands of southern Belgium visible during the initial climb.
Rhine River
The majestic Rhine winding through the German landscape, a major navigational landmark.
Central German Uplands
Scenic views of the Thuringian Forest and Harz mountains depending on the specific flight corridor.
ลรณdลบ Urban Area
The unique industrial grid and red-brick architecture of Poland's third-largest city.
Warsaw Skyline
A stunning view of the Palace of Culture and Science and modern skyscrapers when approaching from the west.
Best for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Look out for the Rhine River approximately 25 minutes into the flight. On the final approach into Chopin Airport, the right side frequently offers a panoramic view of the Vistula River and the city center's high-rises.
Meuse Valley
View the industrial heritage and winding river paths of the Wallonia region shortly after takeoff.
The Ruhr Area
The massive urban and industrial sprawl of western Germany, featuring cities like Essen and Dortmund.
Poznaล
A clear view of one of Poland's oldest cities, recognizable by its distinct historic center and Warta river.
Kampinos National Park
A vast green expanse of UNESCO-protected biosphere reserve located just west of Warsaw during descent.
Ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the wing. Watch for the dense urban lighting of the German industrial heartland if flying at night. Ensure a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze obscuring the North German Plain.
