MRSWMI

Which side of the plane to sit from Marseille Provence Airport (Marseille) to Modlin Airport (Warsaw)?

Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular front-row seat to the highest peaks of the Alps, including the Mont Blanc massif, and provides a stunning view of the Bavarian landscape and Polish river systems.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🌊

French Riviera

Stunning vistas of the Mediterranean coastline and the rugged Calanques shortly after departure.

🏔️

The High Alps

Unrivaled views of the Mont Blanc massif, the Pennine Alps, and iconic peaks like the Matterhorn.

💧

Lake Constance

The massive 'Bodensee' where the borders of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet.

🍺

Munich & Bavaria

Look for the Allianz Arena and the sprawling urban landscape of the Bavarian capital.

🌉

Wrocław

A beautiful view of the 'Venice of Poland' with its numerous bridges and islands on the Oder River.

The right side is essential for Alpine photography. Aim for a window seat mid-cabin or forward to avoid the wing obstructing the mountains. In winter, the snow-covered peaks are breathtakingly bright, so bring sunglasses. The Alps appear roughly 25-40 minutes after takeoff from MRS.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🍇

Rhône Valley

Aerial views of the extensive vineyards and the winding Rhône river shortly after takeoff from Marseille.

⛰️

Jura Mountains

Distinctive limestone ridges and lush valleys marking the border between France and Switzerland.

🏙️

Prague Panorama

A glimpse of the 'City of a Hundred Spires' as the flight path passes over the heart of Bohemia.

🌲

Bohemian Forest

Dense, dark green forest canopies covering the border region between Germany and the Czech Republic.

🏭

Łódź

View of the historic industrial architecture and modern urban sprawl of central Poland's third-largest city.

Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights, as you will be facing north-west away from the sun. This side is better for spotting the geometric layouts of European cities like Prague and the structured agricultural patterns of the Rhône valley.
