MMX → WAW
Which side of the plane to sit from Malmö Sturup Airport (Malmoe) to Warsaw Chopin Airport (Warsaw)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most iconic views of the flight, specifically the distinct Hel Peninsula and the industrial landscape of the Gdańsk Bay before descending into the heart of Poland.

Scania Coastline
View of the southern tip of Sweden and the agricultural patchwork of Skåne during departure.
The Baltic Sea
A vast expanse of deep blue water as the flight crosses from Scandinavia to Central Europe.
Hel Peninsula
The strikingly thin, 35-km long sandbar that separates the Bay of Puck from the open Baltic Sea.
Gdańsk Bay
Bird's-eye view of the historic port cities of the Tricity area (Gdańsk, Gdynia, and Sopot).
Vistula River
The winding path of Poland's longest river as the plane follows it south toward the capital.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. Keep your camera ready about 25-30 minutes into the flight for the Hel Peninsula, as its unique shape is easily recognizable from cruising altitude. If the approach into WAW comes from the north, you will see the northern suburbs and the Vistula river clearly.

Warsaw Skyline
Excellent views of the Palace of Culture and Science and the modern skyscraper cluster during final approach.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Baltic. During landing at Warsaw Chopin (WAW), this side often offers a better view of the city's modern skyline depending on the active runway (usually runway 33 or 11).
