EINWMI

Which side of the plane to sit from Eindhoven Airport (Eindhoven) to Modlin Airport (Warsaw)?

Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side is generally superior for this route as it offers better visibility of the Berlin metropolitan area, the Teutoburg Forest ridges, and a potential view of the Warsaw skyline during the descent into Modlin.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌲

Teutoburg Forest

A long, narrow range of forested hills in Germany that provides a distinct geographical contrast to the surrounding plains.

🗼

Berlin Skyline

If the flight path is southerly, you can spot the iconic TV Tower and the dense urban grid of the German capital.

🏘️

Poznań Old Town

Clear views of the Warta river and the historic center of one of Poland's oldest cities mid-way through the flight.

🏢

Warsaw Financial District

During the descent into WMI, the skyscrapers of central Warsaw are often visible on the horizon to the southeast.

✈️

Modlin Fortress

One of the largest 19th-century fortresses in Europe, located right at the confluence of the Vistula and Narew rivers near the airport.

Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of Berlin and Poznań isn't obstructed. On late afternoon flights, you will experience a beautiful sunset behind the plane, illuminating the Polish landscape in gold. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing for the Modlin Fortress.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Eindhoven Cityscape

Excellent views of the Strijp-S industrial heritage site and the Philips Stadium immediately after takeoff from EIN.

🌊

Steinhuder Meer

A large, shallow lake near Hannover that stands out prominently against the flat Lower Saxony landscape.

🌳

Wannsee & Havel

The lush, water-rich western outskirts of Berlin, featuring dense forests and expansive lake systems.

🛶

Vistula River

The winding 'Wisła' river becomes visible as you approach the final descent, showcasing the natural floodplains of Masovia.

The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Watch for the Steinhuder Meer roughly 30 minutes into the flight. During the approach to Modlin, this side often looks out over the Kampinos National Park's northern edge.
