POZ → BVA
Which side of the plane to sit from Poznań-Ławica Airport (Poznan) to Paris Beauvais Tillé Airport (Beauvais)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior primarily for the stunning aerial view of Berlin and its surrounding lake districts shortly after departure, followed by clear vistas of the North German Plain.
Berlin Metropolitan Area
The best view of the German capital, including the TV Tower (Fernsehturm) and the sprawling Tiergarten park.
Potsdam & Wannsee
The beautiful chain of lakes and palaces surrounding Potsdam, visible just after passing Berlin.
Ruhr Valley Fringe
Distal views of the industrial heartland of Germany, characterized by dense urban clusters and transport hubs.
Picardy Patchwork
The iconic French 'open-field' agriculture, creating a colorful quilt-like pattern during the approach to BVA.
The right side is ideal for photography because the sun is positioned on the opposite side of the aircraft, providing soft, even lighting on the ground features. Look out for Berlin approximately 15 to 20 minutes after departing Poznań. During the evening, you will be treated to a beautiful sunset over the horizon as you enter French airspace.
Harz Mountains
The rugged peaks of Northern Germany, including the Brocken, often visible as a dark green silhouette to the south.
Thuringian Forest
A vast, dense mountain range in central Germany known for its deep valleys and historic ridges.
Champagne Vineyards
Distinctive chalky soil and geometric vine rows as the flight crosses into the Grand Est region of France.
Oise River Valley
The scenic meanders of the Oise river as the aircraft begins its final descent into the Beauvais area.
The left side faces south, which means it receives direct sunlight for the duration of this westbound flight. While great for warmth, it can lead to significant glare; keep your window shade partially closed unless spotting the Harz Mountains about 30 minutes after takeoff. In autumn, the Thuringian Forest offers spectacular golden hues from this side.
