GROPOZ

Which side of the plane to sit from Girona Airport (Gerona) to Poznań-Ławica Airport (Poznan)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers spectacular views of the Mediterranean coastline upon departure, followed by the majestic peaks of the French and Swiss Alps and the vast Lake Constance.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Costa Brava

Golden beaches and rocky coves of the Spanish coast immediately after takeoff.

🏔️

The Alps

Breathtaking panoramic views of the snow-capped French and Swiss Alps, including Mont Blanc in the distance.

💧

Lake Constance

The massive 'Bodensee' where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet.

🏰

Bavarian Countryside

Quaint villages and historical landmarks dotting the southern German landscape.

🏙️

Poznań City Center

Views of the Warta River and the historic Old Town during the descent into POZ.

The right side is the clear winner for mountain lovers. Try to secure a seat away from the wing for unobstructed views of the Alps. For late afternoon flights, the 'Golden Hour' lighting on the mountain peaks is world-class. Ensure you look out about 40-60 minutes into the flight for the best alpine scenery.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
⛰️

Pyrenees Foothills

Rugged northern Catalan terrain as the flight climbs away from Girona.

🍷

Rhône Valley

Deep green vineyards and the winding Rhône River flowing through southeastern France.

🌲

Black Forest

Dense, dark evergreen canopies visible as the route crosses into southwestern Germany.

🏙️

Frankfurt Skyline

Distant views of the 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers depending on the specific air corridor.

🌾

Wielkopolska Plains

The patchwork of golden and green agricultural fields characteristic of Western Poland.

Sit on the left if you are flying in the morning to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side offers better views of the French interior and the industrial heart of Germany from a distance. During the winter, the low sun angle can create long, dramatic shadows over the French Massif Central.
