Which side of the plane to sit from Lviv International Airport (Lvov) to Dortmund Airport (Dortmund)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a more diverse landscape, featuring distant views of the Carpathian Mountains shortly after takeoff and the rolling highlands of central Germany during the descent.
Carpathian Mountains
Distant views of the northern slopes of the Carpathians visible to the south shortly after departing Lviv.
Kraków and Vistula River
Aerial perspective of Poland's historic capital and the winding Vistula River as the flight crosses Southern Poland.
Upper Silesian Industrial Region
A vast urban and industrial landscape centered around Katowice, showcasing the region's mining and manufacturing history.
Ore Mountains (Erzgebirge)
The scenic border range between Germany and the Czech Republic, offering rugged terrain and deep valleys.
Hessian Highlands
Dense green forests and rolling hills of the central German uplands as the aircraft begins its descent into the Ruhr region.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. For evening flights, this side offers stunning sunset views over the European landscape. Early in the flight, scan the southern horizon for the high peaks of the Tatra Mountains if visibility is high.
Polish Lowlands
The characteristic patchwork of agricultural fields and small villages across the central Polish plains.
Wrocław
The historic city known for its numerous bridges and islands on the Oder River, visible during the mid-flight segment.
Leipzig/Halle Hub
Major urban centers in Eastern Germany, with the massive DHL logistics hub at Leipzig/Halle Airport often visible.
Harz Mountains
The highest mountain range in Northern Germany, including the Brocken peak, visible to the north on clear days.
Ruhr Valley Approach
The dense metropolitan architecture of Germany's industrial heartland as the flight approaches Dortmund Airport.
The right side is best for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. It offers a better view of the German plains and the northern Harz range. Look for the distinct urban grid of Leipzig roughly two-thirds through the journey.
