KRK → EIN
Which side of the plane to sit from Kraków John Paul II International Airport (Krakow) to Eindhoven Airport (Eindhoven)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a more dramatic view of the Sudetes mountain range shortly after takeoff and the dense industrial landscape of the Ruhr region during the approach to Eindhoven.
Sudetes Mountains
Spectacular views of the Karkonosze peaks forming the natural border between Poland and Czechia.
Wrocław
The 'City of a Hundred Bridges' is often visible with its distinctive island architecture.
Thuringian Forest
A massive expanse of dark green rolling hills and deep valleys in central Germany.
The Ruhr Area
One of Europe's most densely populated industrial heartlands, appearing as a sea of urban lights at night.
Wartburg Castle Area
The historical region near Eisenach featuring dense woods and medieval history.
For the best experience, choose a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine glare. Mid-day flights provide the best clarity for the Sudetes, while evening flights offer a stunning perspective of the illuminated Ruhr megalopolis. Keep an eye out approximately 20 minutes after takeoff for the mountain views.
Oder River
Watch the meandering river that marks the geographic boundary between Poland and Germany.
Leipzig & Halle
A clear view of these major eastern German urban centers and their surrounding open-pit mines.
Harz National Park
The northernmost mountain range in Germany, often capped with mist or snow.
Meuse River Delta
The intricate network of canals and waterways as the flight enters Dutch airspace.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare. During the descent into Eindhoven, look for the highly organized agricultural grids and water management systems typical of the Dutch landscape. Have your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing.
