Which side of the plane to sit from Katowice International Airport (Katowice) to Warsaw Chopin Airport (Warsaw)?

The right side offers a superior view of the scenic Polish Jura landscape, the meandering Vistula river, and typically provides the iconic perspective of the Warsaw skyline during the final descent into Chopin Airport.
Search flights from KTW to WAW
Eagle Nests Trail
Spot the striking limestone formations and medieval castle ruins of the Jura Krakowsko-Częstochowska upland.
Holy Cross Mountains
Visible forested ridges of the Góry Świętokrzyskie, one of the oldest mountain ranges in Europe, stretching to the east.
Vistula River Valley
The wide, meandering path of the Vistula river provides a scenic backdrop as the aircraft approaches the Masovian Voivodeship.
Warsaw Center Skyline
Unrivaled views of the Palace of Culture and Science and the modern cluster of skyscrapers during the standard landing pattern.
A window seat behind the wing is recommended to see the Jura landscape clearly. Sunset flights provide spectacular lighting over the Vistula river. This side is most likely to offer the classic 'skyline view' when the wind necessitates an approach from the south or east.

Silesian Metropole
Panoramic views of the dense industrial landscape and urban sprawl of Katowice and the GZM metropolis immediately after takeoff.
Jasna Góra Monastery
Potential distant glimpse of the historic Pauline Monastery in Częstochowa, a major spiritual center of Poland.
Western Suburbs
Detailed views of the western residential and industrial districts of Warsaw, including Pruszków, during the final approach.
Choose a morning flight to avoid direct sun glare. Focus on the ground immediately after takeoff to spot the distinctive 'Spodek' arena in Katowice. This side is better if the aircraft is assigned a western approach to Runway 11.
