DUS → WAW
Which side of the plane to sit from Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf) to Warsaw Chopin Airport (Warsaw)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the industrial landscape of the Ruhr area early in the flight, a distant view of Berlin's northern outskirts, and a beautiful approach over the Kampinos National Park into Warsaw.

Ruhr Valley
Aerial views of the industrial heartland of Germany, including the cities of Essen and Dortmund shortly after takeoff.
Berlin Outskirts
On a clear day, look north for the distant skyline of Germany's capital and the Havelland lake district.
Poznań Cityscape
A clear view of the historic Polish city of Poznań and the Warta river winding through the center.
Kampinos National Park
A vast expanse of forest and marshland just west of Warsaw, serving as a green gateway during the final descent.
WAW Final Approach
Excellent views of the northern districts of Warsaw and the Vistula river if the flight pattern follows a standard western approach.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. This side is particularly scenic during the golden hour before sunset when the Polish lakes and the Vistula river reflect the light. Watch for the distinctive grid of the Ruhr region within the first 10-15 minutes of flight.

Sauerland Hills
The rolling green hills and reservoirs of the Bergisches Land and Sauerland regions south of the flight path.
Harz Mountains
Distant views of the Brocken, the highest peak in Northern Germany, situated to the south of the cruise path.
Elbe River
Cross the wide, winding Elbe River near the border between former West and East Germany.
Łódź Urban Area
The sprawling industrial and residential sectors of Poland's third-largest city, Łódź.
Warsaw Business District
If the aircraft circles for a southern approach, catch the impressive skyscraper skyline of Warsaw's financial center.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to capture the warm light over the German highlands. Be aware that during peak summer months, the sun will be on this side for most of the duration, potentially making it quite warm and bright. Keep an eye out for the Harz mountains midway through the trip.
