Which side of the plane to sit from Minsk National Airport (Minsk 2) to Hannover Airport (Hannover)?

Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Berlin metropolitan area and the ancient Bialowieza Forest, alongside the dramatic curves of the Elbe and Vistula rivers.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🌳

Bialowieza Forest

The vast, dark canopy of one of Europe's last and largest remaining parts of the immense primeval forest.

🌆

Berlin Metropolis

An expansive view of the German capital, including the iconic TV Tower and the sprawling Tiergarten.

🚢

Elbe River Basin

The wide meandering path of the Elbe river near Magdeburg, a vital European waterway.

🚗

Wolfsburg Autostadt

The massive Volkswagen plant and its distinctive car towers are visible shortly before touchdown in Hannover.

Morning flights offer the best illumination for the dense forests of eastern Poland. As you approach Germany, keep your camera ready for Berlin; depending on the air traffic control corridor, you may pass directly north of the city center for an unparalleled urban panorama. Look for the distinct circular shape of the A10 ring road.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏙️

Warsaw Skyline

A clear view of the Polish capital's modern skyscrapers and the historic Palace of Culture and Science.

🌊

Vistula River

The longest river in Poland, visible as it snakes through the central plains.

🏭

Lodz Urban Area

The distinct industrial grid and sprawling residential zones of Poland's third-largest city.

🏔️

Harz Mountains

Distant views of the Brocken peak on the southern horizon during the initial descent into Hannover.

Book an evening flight to catch the sunset over the Polish plains. This side is optimal for seeing the city lights of Warsaw if flying after dusk. During winter, look for the snow-capped Harz mountains to the south as you cross the former inner-German border.
