Which side of the plane to sit from Kopitnari Airport (Kutaisi) to Katowice International Airport (Katowice)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers spectacular views of the High Tatra Mountains during the descent and better perspectives of the Carpathian range across Romania and Slovakia.
Pontic Coastline
Dramatic views of the Adjara and Guria coastline as the plane departs Kutaisi and heads over the Black Sea.
Southern Carpathians
Bird's-eye view of the rugged Făgăraș and Retezat peaks in Romania, known as the Transylvanian Alps.
Transylvanian Plateau
Aerial perspective of the historic landscapes and fortified villages of central Romania.
High Tatra Mountains
Breathtaking views of the jagged, snow-capped peaks forming the natural border between Slovakia and Poland.
Kraków and Vistula River
During the descent into Katowice, you can often spot the historic city of Kraków and the winding Vistula River to the south.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare while capturing the best lighting on the Carpathians. During the final 30 minutes of flight, keep your camera ready for the High Tatras, which are the most dramatic feature of this route. If flying at sunset, the left side provides a beautiful warm glow over the mountains.
Black Sea Horizon
An expansive view of the deep blue Black Sea stretching toward the northern horizon during the first half of the trip.
Moldavian Plateau
The rolling hills and agricultural patterns of Eastern Romania and the borders of Moldova.
Eastern Carpathians
Views of the forested, softer ridges of the Eastern Carpathian range passing through Northern Romania and Ukraine.
Silesian Metropolis
A clear view of the industrial heartland and urban sprawl of the Upper Silesian region as you approach Katowice.
The right side is ideal for passengers who prefer softer, indirect light during the day. It offers a better view of the industrial landscape of the Silesian Voivodeship during the final approach. If flying during the summer, the northern horizon often stays bright for longer, providing a serene view of the clouds over the Black Sea.
