Which side of the plane to sit from Kraków John Paul II International Airport (Krakow) to EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport (Mulhouse)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a spectacular southern panorama, featuring the distant Tatra Mountains initially and the stunning Northern Alps and Lake Constance during the latter half of the flight.
Tatra Mountains
Distant but sharp views of the High Tatras' jagged peaks shortly after takeoff from Krakow.
Bavarian Panorama
Views of the sprawling Southern German landscape and the distant skyline of Munich.
Lake Constance (Bodensee)
A magnificent view of Central Europe's third-largest lake where Germany, Austria, and Switzerland meet.
Swiss Alps Horizon
A continuous, breathtaking silhouette of the snow-capped Swiss Alps to the south throughout the cruise.
Upper Rhine River
The winding Rhine river as it flows toward Basel, marking the international border.
Sit on the left for the best mountain views. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you or to the side, illuminating the Alps perfectly. Look for Lake Constance about 75-80% of the way through the flight duration; it is the visual highlight of the route.
Bohemian Forest
Dense, rolling green landscapes of the Šumava region along the Czech-German border.
The Black Forest
The deep evergreen canopy of the Schwarzwald as the plane crosses into Southwest Germany.
Vosges Mountains
The rounded 'ballon' peaks of the French Vosges visible during the descent into the tri-border area.
Mulhouse & Basel Suburbs
Clear views of the French and Swiss urban layouts during the final approach path.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. It offers better views of the Black Forest's topography. Keep an eye out for the 'Three Countries Bridge' near the airport during landing, which connects France and Germany near the Swiss border.
