KRK → STR
Which side of the plane to sit from Kraków John Paul II International Airport (Krakow) to Stuttgart Airport (Stuttgart)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the northern silhouette of the Alps and the varied landscapes of Southern Moravia and Bavaria.
The High Tatras
Distant but majestic views of the highest range in the Carpathians shortly after takeoff.
South Moravian Vineyards
A patchwork of rolling hills and vineyards surrounding the city of Brno in the Czech Republic.
Danube River
A clear crossing of Europe's second-longest river as it winds through the Bavarian landscape.
Alpine Horizon
On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the Bavarian and Austrian Alps dominate the southern horizon.
The Black Forest Edge
Views of the dense evergreen forests and hills as the plane begins its descent into the Stuttgart region.
Choose a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Alpine horizon. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the mountains, as the sun is positioned in the southeast. During winter, look for the sharp contrast of the snow-covered Beskids.
Silesian Urban Area
The sprawling industrial and urban landscape of Katowice and the Upper Silesian region.
Prague Outskirts
The Czech capital and the Vltava river valley are often visible to the north mid-flight.
Pilsen (Plzeň)
The historic home of Pilsner beer, recognizable by its distinct urban layout and surrounding Bohemian forests.
Nuremberg
The historic Bavarian city with its medieval fortifications is a frequent landmark on the northern track.
Swabian Jura
The dramatic limestone escarpment of the 'Alb' provides a rugged landscape during the final approach to STR.
The right side is excellent for urban enthusiasts and history buffs. Afternoon flights are ideal to avoid the sun's glare. Keep a close eye out for the dramatic drop-off of the Swabian Jura hills about 15 minutes before landing for spectacular geological views.
