KRK → GRO
Which side of the plane to sit from Kraków John Paul II International Airport (Krakow) to Girona Airport (Gerona)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers a spectacular traverse across the heart of the European Alps, including the Swiss giants and the Massif Central, finishing with a dramatic approach near the Pyrenees.
Bohemian Landscapes
View the rolling hills and historic urban clusters of the Czech Republic shortly after crossing the Polish border.
Swiss Alpine Giants
Stunning views of the Bernese Oberland, including famous peaks like the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau.
Lake Geneva
The distinct crescent shape of Lac Léman and the surrounding vineyards are often visible as you transition into French airspace.
The Pyrenees
A breathtaking view of the mountain wall separating France and Spain, visible just before the descent into Girona.
The right side is superior for mountain lovers, providing the most direct views of the high Swiss Alps. For the best photography, a morning flight is ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the peaks perfectly. Keep your camera ready about 60-80 minutes into the flight for the best Alpine scenery.
High Tatra Mountains
Shortly after takeoff, look back to see the jagged granite peaks forming the natural border between Poland and Slovakia.
Austrian & Italian Alps
Panoramic views of the Eastern Alps, featuring snow-capped ridges and deep glacial valleys as you head southwest.
The Po Valley
On clear days, the vast northern Italian plains and the distant Apennine Mountains may be visible beyond the Alpine foothills.
Gulf of Lion Coastline
As the plane descends, the deep blue of the Mediterranean Sea and the rugged curves of the Costa Brava come into view.
Choose the left side for better views of the Mediterranean coastline during the final approach. However, be aware that midday flights may experience significant sun glare on this side when flying southwest.
