Which side of the plane to sit from Kraków John Paul II International Airport (Krakow) to Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (Bologna)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the high Alps and the spectacular jagged limestone peaks of the Dolomites as the flight descends toward the Po Valley.
Beskid Mountains
Rolling forested hills of Southern Poland visible during the initial climb.
Hohe Tauern
The highest peaks of the Austrian Alps, including glaciers and snow-capped summits.
The Dolomites
Breathtaking UNESCO-listed vertical walls and pale rock spires of Northern Italy.
Lake Garda
Glimpses of Italy's largest lake to the west during the cruise phase over the Alps.
Po Valley
The vast agricultural heartland of Italy stretching toward the Apennines before landing.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights, offering spectacular 'enrosadira' effects where the Dolomites glow pink in the sunset. Use a window seat away from the wing for the best mountain photography.
High Tatra Mountains
Sharp granite peaks on the Polish-Slovak border, visible shortly after takeoff.
Vienna Basin
Panoramic views of the Austrian capital and the Danube River snaking through the landscape.
Styrian Alps
Rugged limestone massifs and deep green valleys of southeastern Austria.
Venetian Lagoon
Distal views of the Adriatic coastline and the marshes surrounding Venice.
Choose this side for early morning flights to see the Tatras illuminated by the rising sun. It also provides a better view of the transition from the Alps to the flat Venetian plains.
