KTW → MMX
Which side of the plane to sit from Katowice International Airport (Katowice) to Malmö Sturup Airport (Malmoe)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the industrial-meets-green landscapes of Western Poland, the scenic Szczecin Lagoon, and the spectacular approach into the Skåne region which often includes glimpses of Copenhagen and the Øresund area.
Silesian Metropolis
Aerial view of the dense urban sprawl and industrial heritage sites of the Upper Silesian urban area shortly after takeoff.
City of Poznań
Visual of one of Poland's oldest cities, featuring the Warta River and the distinctive layout of the Old Town.
Szczecin Lagoon
A massive coastal lagoon on the border of Poland and Germany where the Oder River meets the Baltic Sea.
Wolin National Park
The dramatic cliffs and sandy beaches of the Polish Baltic coast near the German border.
Øresund Bridge
On clear days during the descent, the massive bridge connecting Malmö and Copenhagen is visible in the distance.
Sit on the left for the best views of the sunset if flying in the evening. During the winter months, look for the unique patterns of ice formation along the Polish coast. The approach into MMX from the west often provides a stunning panorama of the Danish capital before turning into Sweden.
Vistula River Bend
The winding path of Poland's longest river as it snakes through the central plains.
Noteć Forest
Extensive stretches of deep green pine forests covering large portions of Western Poland.
Bornholm Island
The isolated Danish island appearing as a rocky emerald in the middle of the blue Baltic Sea.
Swedish Coastline
The first sight of Sweden featuring the rugged southern coast near Ystad and Trelleborg.
Skåne Plains
The patchwork quilt of Sweden's most fertile agricultural land, particularly vibrant yellow in May during rapeseed blooming.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep an eye out for maritime traffic—the shipping lanes between the Polish ports and Scandinavia are among the busiest in the world. Look for the distinct circular fields of Swedish southern agriculture during the final descent.
