Search flights from KRK to BVA
Sudetes Mountains
The rugged Karkonosze range along the Polish-Czech border, often snow-capped in winter.
Dresden and the Elbe
Historic Saxon architecture and the wide curves of the Elbe River visible to the south.
Moselle Valley
Intricate river loops and steep terraced vineyards near the border of Germany and Luxembourg.
Champagne Vineyards
The rolling hills and historic estates of the Reims region as you enter French airspace.
Paris Horizon
On clear days during the southern approach, look south to spot the Eiffel Tower and La Défense skyline.
Choose the left side for the most iconic landmarks. During the descent into Beauvais, the plane often maneuvers south of the airport, providing the only chance to see Paris in the distance. For late afternoon flights, be prepared for some sun glare as you look south towards the sun's path.
