GRO → KRK
Which side of the plane to sit from Girona Airport (Gerona) to Kraków John Paul II International Airport (Krakow)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior sequence of dramatic mountain vistas, including the high peaks of the French and Austrian Alps and a stunning final approach near the High Tatras.
Costa Brava Coastline
Breathtaking views of the Mediterranean inlets and rocky shores during the initial climb out of Girona.
Mont Blanc Massif
The highest peak in Western Europe often stands out clearly above the alpine cloud layer.
The Dolomites
The jagged, pale limestone peaks of Northern Italy are often visible to the south during the central cruise.
Austrian Glaciers
The permanent ice fields of the Hohe Tauern range, including the Grossglockner peak.
The High Tatras
As you descend into Krakow, these sharp granite peaks on the Slovakian border provide a dramatic backdrop.
This is the best side for mountain enthusiasts. For the best photography of the High Tatras during descent, choose a flight arriving in the late afternoon for soft lighting. Keep an eye out early for the French Riviera coast if the plane turns east immediately.
Eastern Pyrenees
Aerial views of the rugged mountain border between Spain and France shortly after takeoff.
Lyon and the Rhone
The confluence of the Rhone and Saône rivers as you traverse central-eastern France.
Bernese Oberland
Panoramic views of the iconic Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks in the Swiss Alps.
Lake Constance
The vast 'Bodensee' which serves as the natural border between Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.
Bohemian Forest
Expansive views of the dense, rolling forests along the Czech-German border.
Afternoon flights are ideal for this side to avoid the harsh southern sun while viewing the Swiss Alps. Look for the distinct urban sprawl of Prague to the north if the flight path tracks slightly further north than usual.
