Search flights from EMA to KRK
The Ruhr Valley
View of Europe's largest industrial metropolitan region, characterized by dense urban clusters and historical industrial sites.
Harz Mountains
The northernmost range in Germany, featuring the Brocken peak and dense forests that look striking in winter snow.
Sudetes Mountain Range
The rugged natural border between Poland and the Czech Republic, providing beautiful ridge-line views during mid-flight.
Krakow and Vistula River
On final approach, catch glimpses of the winding Vistula River and the outskirts of the historic royal city.
Sit here for the best sun orientation during morning flights (sun will be behind or above you). On the descent into KRK, if the aircraft approaches from the south, you may see the distant, jagged peaks of the Tatra Mountains on the horizon. Seasonal snow on the Harz and Sudetes ranges makes this side particularly scenic from November to March.

The Wash and Norfolk Coast
Dramatic views of the East Anglian coastline and the unique square-shaped bay of The Wash shortly after departure.
North Sea Wind Farms
Bird's-eye view of massive offshore wind turbine arrays scattered across the grey-blue waters of the North Sea.
Northern German Plains
The flat, agricultural landscapes of Lower Saxony, often passing near the urban sprawl of Hanover.
Wroclaw and the Odra
As you enter Poland, look for the intricate network of bridges and islands of Wroclaw to the north.
Early morning flights may experience glare on this side. It is the better side for viewing the English coastline and the distinct grid patterns of Northern German agriculture. Keep an eye out for the Elbe River crossing as you transit Germany.
