Which side of the plane to sit from Malta International Airport (Malta) to Kraków John Paul II International Airport (Krakow)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning views of the Mediterranean and European terrain, the right side provides a superior vantage point for the intricate Croatian coastline and the dramatic High Tatra Mountains just before landing.

Dalmatian Archipelago
A stunning mosaic of hundreds of islands and turquoise waters along the Croatian coast.
Lake Balaton
Central Europe's largest freshwater lake, easily recognizable by its elongated shape and light green water.
High Tatra Mountains
The jagged, granite peaks of the highest range in the Carpathians, marking the border between Slovakia and Poland.
Krakow Outskirts
Aerial views of the Vistula river and the historic sprawl of Southern Poland during final approach.
The right side is essential for seeing the Croatian islands and the best angle of the Tatras. For the best lighting on the islands, choose a mid-day or afternoon flight. Ensure your window is clean for the mountain approach near the end of the trip.
