Which side of the plane to sit from Eindhoven Airport (Eindhoven) to Warsaw Chopin Airport (Warsaw)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for spotting the massive urban sprawl of Berlin and the scenic transition from the Dutch polders to the dense forests of Central Poland.
Dutch Waterways
Intricate patterns of canals and polders visible immediately after takeoff from Eindhoven.
Berlin Skyline
On many flight paths, the German capital and its iconic TV Tower are visible to the north.
Greater Poland Lakes
A series of post-glacial lakes surrounding Poznań provide a shimmering landscape mid-flight.
Kampinos National Park
A vast primeval forest located just west of Warsaw, offering a sea of green during the final descent.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see Berlin. During winter months, the afternoon flights offer a beautiful 'blue hour' over the snow-covered Polish plains. Keep your camera ready about 45 minutes into the flight for the German-Polish border crossing.
The Ruhr Area
The dense industrial heart of Germany, visible to the south during the first half of the journey.
Harz Mountains
The highest mountain range in Northern Germany, providing significant topographical relief.
Oder River Valley
The natural border between Germany and Poland, characterized by wide floodplains and winding bends.
Warsaw City Center
Depending on the runway in use, the right side often gets a direct view of the high-rise financial district.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It offers a more industrial perspective of Western Germany and better views of the Vistula River if the plane circles south of Warsaw for landing.
