Which side of the plane to sit from Lublin Airport (Lublin) to Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport (Gdansk)?

Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is generally superior for this route as it offers views of the Vistula delta, the massive Malbork Castle during descent, and the expansive Gdańsk Bay upon arrival.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🛡️

Modlin Fortress

One of the largest 19th-century fortresses in Europe, situated at the confluence of the Vistula and Narew rivers.

🏰

Malbork Castle

The world's largest brick castle and a UNESCO site, clearly visible on the right during the descent into Gdańsk.

🌾

Żuławy Wiślane

Poland's lowest-lying region, featuring a unique patchwork of polders and drainage canals similar to Dutch landscapes.

🌊

Gdańsk Bay

Panoramic views of the Baltic Sea, the Hel Peninsula, and the bustling port cranes of the Tri-City area.

The right side is essential for seeing Malbork Castle approximately 15 minutes before landing. On clear days, you can often see all the way to the Vistula Spit and the Russian border (Kaliningrad) on the horizon. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for this side.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏙️

Warsaw Skyline

Distal views of the Palace of Culture and Science and the modern skyscraper cluster in the capital.

🌲

Kampinos National Park

A vast green expanse of UNESCO-protected biosphere forest located just west of Warsaw.

🏰

Toruń Old Town

The medieval red-brick architecture of Copernicus's birthplace visible along the Vistula curve.

🏞️

Kashubian Lake District

Post-glacial landscape featuring rolling hills and numerous small lakes as you enter the Pomeranian region.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight glare. This side provides the best perspective of central Poland's urban development and the industrial landscape of Bydgoszcz during the mid-flight phase.
