Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior mix of natural landscapes and iconic landmarks, including the Rhine River, the Harz Mountains, and the scenic Meuse Valley shortly after takeoff.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏞️

Meuse Valley

Dramatic limestone cliffs and the winding Meuse river south of Namur shortly after departure.

⛪

Rhine River & Cologne

A high-altitude view of the Rhine's massive shipping lanes and the city of Cologne.

🌲

Harz Mountains

The dark, forested peaks of Northern Germany's highest mountain range, often snow-capped in winter.

🏙️

Leipzig Area

The urban landscape of Leipzig and the surrounding converted mining lakes.

🦌

Kampinos National Park

A vast expanse of forest and inland dunes located just west of Warsaw Modlin Airport.

The right side is ideal for capturing the diversity of the European landscape. Look out for the Rhine River approximately 20 minutes into the flight. On the approach to Modlin, the right side provides the best view of the Vistula river and the Kampinos forest. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting on this side as the sun moves south.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏢

Brussels Metropolitan Area

Aerial views of the suburban sprawl and the distant skyline of the European capital.

🏭

The Ruhr District

A massive urban and industrial corridor stretching across Western Germany, including Essen and Dortmund.

🚜

Lower Saxony Plains

Vast, geometrically perfect agricultural fields characteristic of Northern Germany.

🌊

Oder River Border

The natural river boundary marking the transition from Germany into Poland.

🛶

Warta River Valley

Meandering river bends and wetlands as the flight progresses through Western Poland.

Sit on the left for the best views of the industrial heart of Europe. During sunset flights, this side will experience direct sunlight, which can be harsh for photography but offers beautiful golden hour lighting over the Polish plains.
