Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is superior for this route as it offers prime views of the Krkonoše mountains and the expansive Masurian Lake District, culminating in a high probability of seeing the iconic Trakai Island Castle on the approach to Vilnius.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Krkonoše Mountains

Dramatic views of the 'Giant Mountains' on the Czech-Polish border, including Sněžka, the highest peak in the region.

🏘️

Wrocław

The 'City of a Hundred Bridges' is often clearly visible as you cross into Polish airspace.

💧

Masurian Lake District

Hundreds of glinting glacial lakes scattered across northern Poland, especially vibrant in the afternoon sun.

🏰

Trakai Island Castle

The red-brick 14th-century fortress surrounded by Lake Galvė is a stunning sight during the descent into VNO.

Sit on the left for the best chance to see Trakai Castle. On evening flights, the sun sets to the west, casting a golden glow over the Masurian Lakes, though glare can be an issue—polarizing sunglasses help with photography.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Warsaw Skyline

The distinct high-rise cluster of Poland's capital is usually visible mid-flight when passing to the north.

🌲

Białowieża Proximity

Dense, dark green expanses of ancient primeval forests visible toward the Belarusian border.

🌊

Neman River

Watch for the silver ribbon of the Neman River as it snakes through the borderlands between Poland and Lithuania.

⛪

Vilnius Old Town

A bird's-eye view of the UNESCO-listed Baroque steeples and red-tiled roofs if the plane approaches from the north.

The right side is ideal for city lovers; the Warsaw skyline is a major highlight. For the best views of Vilnius's red roofs, hope for a landing on Runway 19. Early morning flights offer beautiful soft light over the eastern forests.
