MAN β WMI
Which side of the plane to sit from Manchester Airport (Manchester) to Modlin Airport (Warsaw)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for this route as it offers the best chance to see the sprawling urban landscapes of Berlin and a spectacular view of the Warsaw skyline during the descent into Modlin.
Cheshire Plain
Aerial views of the patchwork fields and rural landscapes of Northwest England during initial climb.
Dutch Waterways
The dense network of canals and rivers surrounding major hubs like Utrecht and Arnhem.
Berlin Metropolitan Area
On a clear day, the vast urban sprawl of the German capital is visible as you transit across Brandenburg.
PoznaΕ City
A clear view of one of Poland's oldest and most vibrant cities located midway through the Polish leg.
Warsaw Skyline
During the final descent into WMI, the skyscrapers of downtown Warsaw are often visible to the south.
The right side is essential for the best views of the Warsaw skyline on approach. During winter months, late afternoon flights provide a stunning sunset view over the Polish plains. Ensure your window is clean for the city photography over Berlin.
Peak District
Immediately after take-off, views of the rolling green hills and moorlands of the UK's first National Park.
The Wash & East Anglia
The unique square-shaped bay on the east coast of England before crossing the North Sea.
Frisian Islands
A chain of islands along the Dutch and German coasts known for their shifting sandbanks and tidal flats.
Hamburg Port
In the distance to the north, the massive industrial cranes and shipping lanes of Germany's largest port.
Vistula River
The winding path of Poland's longest river as the aircraft aligns for the approach into Modlin.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. It is particularly good for observing the intricate patterns of the Wadden Sea sandbars if the flight path stays more northerly over the Netherlands.
