Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Bydgoszcz Cityscape

Get a clear view of the city and its surrounding forest complexes shortly after departure.

⛪

Jasna Góra Monastery

Look for the distinct, tall spire of the famous pilgrimage site in Częstochowa.

🗿

Jura Limestone Cliffs

Witness the dramatic white limestone rock formations and 'Eagles' Nests' castles of the Jura Uplands.

🌲

Ojców National Park

A glimpse of the lush green valleys and unique rock pillars just north of Krakow.

🏰

Tyniec Benedictine Abbey

Often visible perched on a limestone cliff over the Vistula River during the final turn for landing.

The right side is ideal for afternoon travel to avoid the harsh sun. Watch closely about 15-20 minutes before landing for the limestone outcrops; they are particularly beautiful during the 'golden hour' before sunset.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🛶

Vistula River Meanders

Follow the winding path of Poland's longest river as it snakes through the central lowlands.

🏰

Toruń Old Town

Spot the red-brick medieval architecture of Copernicus's birthplace on the river banks.

🏙️

Warsaw Horizon

On clear days, the distant skyscrapers of the capital city are visible to the east.

⛰️

Holy Cross Mountains

Observe the low, ancient peaks of Góry Świętokrzyskie, some of the oldest mountains in Europe.

🏗️

Nowa Huta District

View the unique socialist-realist urban layout of Krakow's eastern industrial hub during the final approach.

Choose the left side for morning flights to witness the sun rising over the Vistula. It provides a great perspective of the vast agricultural plains of Mazovia before reaching the southern highlands.
