Which side of the plane to sit from Kraków John Paul II International Airport (Krakow) to Warsaw Chopin Airport (Warsaw)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most consistent scenery, featuring the winding Vistula River, the ancient Holy Cross Mountains, and the best opportunity to view the Warsaw skyline and the Vistula's natural banks during the descent into Chopin Airport.

Tatra Mountains
On clear days, the jagged, snow-capped peaks of the High Tatras are visible to the south during the initial climbing phase.
Holy Cross Mountains
The ancient, low-lying forested ridges of the Świętokrzyski National Park, some of the oldest mountains in Europe.
Vistula River Meanders
The majestic 'Queen of Polish Rivers' follows the flight path, showcasing natural sandbanks and winding curves.
Warsaw Skyline
A prime view of the Palace of Culture and Science alongside modern skyscrapers and the National Stadium during the final approach.
The right side is superior for morning flights to see the landscape illuminated by the rising sun. Look south immediately after takeoff from Krakow for a rare glimpse of the Tatras. During the descent into Warsaw, this side frequently provides a better angle of the city center and the Vistula bridges.

Ojców National Park
Unique limestone rock formations and deep forested valleys of the Jura Krakowsko-Częstochowska highland visible shortly after takeoff.
Upper Silesian Horizon
A distant view of Poland's industrial heartland, characterized by chimneys and urban sprawl on the western horizon.
Radom City
Clear aerial perspective of the city's grid and the Radom-Sadków airport located midway through the flight path.
Sit on the left side during evening flights to witness the sunset over the Polish Jura. This side is also preferable if the plane approaches Warsaw from the north, as it may offer a wider view of the Kampinos Forest.
