Our Recommendation
7.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the entry into the Polish coastline and the picturesque Jura landscape during the descent into Katowice.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🇩🇰

Bornholm Island

Visibility of the Danish 'Pearl of the Baltic' on the horizon shortly after leaving Swedish airspace.

🏖️

Słowiński National Park

Spot the unique moving sand dunes and the large coastal lakes of Łebsko and Gardno as you cross the Polish border.

🛶

Pomeranian Lake District

A dense cluster of blue lakes and thick forests characterizing the northern Polish landscape.

⛪

Jasna Góra Monastery

As the plane descends, look for the iconic spire of the monastery in Częstochowa, a major spiritual center.

🏰

Polish Jura Chain

Limestone cliffs and the 'Eagle Nests' medieval castles dotting the hills northeast of Katowice.

For morning flights, the left side will be in direct sunlight; choose this side for evening flights to catch the soft 'golden hour' light on the Polish plains. Watch closely about 20 minutes after takeoff for the transition from the Baltic deep blue to the white sandy coastlines of Poland.

Right Side Highlights
6.5
🌉

Öresund Region

Excellent views of the Scania coastline and potentially the Öresund Bridge connecting Sweden to Denmark during takeoff.

🏝️

Wolin and Uznam

Distant views of the islands near the German-Polish border and the Szczecin Lagoon.

🏙️

Poznań Metropolitan Area

Aerial perspective of one of Poland's oldest and largest cities, recognizable by its distinct urban layout.

⛰️

Sudetes Mountains

On very clear days, the silhouette of the Karkonosze range can be seen far to the southwest.

⚒️

Silesian Urban Area

The dense industrial heartland of Poland, featuring a mix of historic brick architecture and modern industrial sites.

Sit on the right for morning flights to avoid the glare of the sun. This side is better for spotting the sprawling industrial landscape of Upper Silesia during the final approach. Keep an eye out for the large open-pit mines and the green patches of the Silesian Park near Chorzów.
