GDN → WRO
Which side of the plane to sit from Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport (Gdansk) to Copernicus Wrocław Airport (Wroclaw)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this route as it offers a comprehensive view of the Tricity area during takeoff from GDN and provides a better perspective of the Vistula River valley and Wrocław city center on the final approach.
Gdańsk Skyline
Breathtaking views of the Main Town, the historic cranes of the shipyard, and the Motława River shortly after departure.
Vistula River Meanders
Follow the winding path of Poland's longest river as the flight heads south toward the heart of the country.
Malbork Castle
On clear days, the massive red-brick Gothic fortress—the largest in the world—is visible to the southeast.
Toruń Old Town
A glimpse of the UNESCO-listed medieval city center and its iconic red-roofed architecture along the riverbank.
Wrocław Sky Tower
As the plane descends into WRO, the left side typically faces the city's tallest skyscraper and the historic Old Town.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise reflecting off the Baltic Sea and Vistula River. During the landing phase, keep your camera ready as the pilot aligns with the runway, usually offering a direct view of the Oder River bridges.
Kashubian Lake District
A mosaic of deep blue lakes and dense forests known as 'Kashubian Switzerland' immediately west of the airport.
Bydgoszcz Urban Area
View the industrial landscape and the unique layout of the Bydgoszcz Canal connecting the Vistula and Oder basins.
Wielkopolska Farmlands
The geometric beauty of Poland's agricultural heartland, especially vibrant during the rapeseed blooming season in May.
Sudetes Mountains Horizon
In high visibility conditions, the Karkonosze range and Śnieżka peak appear as a faint silhouette on the distant horizon.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It provides a more tranquil view of Poland's rural landscapes and the rolling hills of Lower Silesia. If the wind requires a western approach to WRO, you may see the modern airport terminal and logistics hubs.
