Which side of the plane to sit from Katowice International Airport (Katowice) to Eindhoven Airport (Eindhoven)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of major German urban centers, including the sprawling Ruhr metropolitan area and the Harz mountain range.
Industrial Heartland
Immediately after takeoff, see the dense industrial landscape and cooling towers of the Upper Silesian region.
Leipzig Logistics
View the massive Leipzig/Halle airport hub and the surrounding artificial lakes created from former mines.
Brocken Peak
Look for the Harz Mountains, featuring the Brocken, the highest peak in Northern Germany, often shrouded in mist.
The Ruhr Area
An impressive view of the contiguous urban cluster of Dortmund, Essen, and Duisburg, especially vibrant at night.
Meandering Maas
The winding path of the Maas River marking the approach into the Dutch province of North Brabant.
The right side is exceptional for evening flights as the Ruhr Valley lights up in a massive grid of gold. Keep an eye out for the Harz mountains in winter, as they are often the only snow-capped peaks visible in the region.
Wrocław Cityscape
View the historic center of Wrocław and its complex network of canals and bridges on the Oder River.
Historic Dresden
A glimpse of the Elbe river valley and the reconstructed baroque architecture of Dresden's city center.
Thuringian Ridges
Dense green forests and rolling hills of the Thuringian Forest stretching across central Germany.
Rhine River
The iconic crossing of the Rhine river as the flight enters the border region near the Netherlands.
Choose the left side for morning departures to have the sun behind you, providing better visibility of the Polish and German landscapes. Watch for the Sudetes mountains appearing far to the south on very clear days.
