KTW → KUT
Which side of the plane to sit from Katowice International Airport (Katowice) to Kopitnari Airport (Kutaisi)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the High Tatras immediately after takeoff and a spectacular panoramic view of the Greater Caucasus mountains during the descent into Georgia.
High Tatras Peaks
Dramatic granite summits and glacial lakes along the Polish-Slovak border visible shortly after departure from Katowice.
Western Ukraine & Moldova
Bird's-eye view of the rolling plains, winding Dniester river, and patchwork agricultural fields of Eastern Europe.
Northern Black Sea Coast
The transition from the European landmass to the deep blue of the Black Sea, often passing near the Ukrainian coastline.
Greater Caucasus Range
A breathtaking wall of snow-capped peaks including Mount Elbrus that dominates the horizon as the plane nears Kutaisi.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Caucasus mountains during the descent. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing perfectly lit landscapes for photography. Keep your camera ready about 30 minutes before landing for the most dramatic mountain views.
Southern Carpathians
Dense forest canopies and rugged ridges of the Transylvanian Alps as the flight traverses Romanian airspace.
Danube River Delta
The intricate network of channels and wetlands where Central Europe's longest river meets the Black Sea.
Black Sea Expanse
Uninterrupted views of the sea horizon, which are particularly stunning during late afternoon flights as the sun begins to set.
Lesser Caucasus & Adjara
Views of the greener, lower mountain ranges of southern Georgia and the coastal approach towards the landing strip.
The right side is best for late afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset reflecting off the Black Sea. While it misses the highest peaks of the Caucasus, it offers a great look at the Romanian mountain ranges. Use a polarizing filter if shooting through the window to cut down on sea glare.
