Which side of the plane to sit from Eindhoven Airport (Eindhoven) to Kraków John Paul II International Airport (Krakow)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for viewing the diverse German highlands and the dramatic peaks of the Sudetes mountains along the Czech-Polish border.
Sauerland Hills
Densely forested ridges and reservoirs in the North Rhine-Westphalia region.
Ore Mountains
The Erzgebirge range forming a natural border between Germany and the Czech Republic.
Sudetes Range
Dramatic views of the Karkonosze peaks, often snow-capped in winter months.
Tyniec Abbey
The historic Benedictine Abbey perched on a limestone cliff over the Vistula River just before landing.
This side is perfect for morning flights when the sun illuminates the mountain ridges. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes of the flight; as the plane descends into Kraków, the Vistula River and the Tyniec Abbey provide a spectacular entrance to the city.
Ruhr Valley
The massive industrial heartland of Western Germany, including Essen and Dortmund.
Leipzig
Clear views of the urban sprawl and the Monument to the Battle of the Nations.
Dresden
The winding Elbe River and the historic architecture of the Saxon capital.
Silesian Metropolis
The dense network of cities surrounding Katowice as you enter Polish airspace.
Choose this side if flying during the afternoon to avoid direct sunlight and glare. It is excellent for spotting the structural patterns of German and Polish urban centers. Look for the distinctive Elbe River curves near the halfway point of the flight.
