RZEBVA

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side of the aircraft offers a superior scenic experience, featuring distant views of the Tatra and Alpine massifs to the south, the historic architecture of Kraków, and the iconic vineyards of the Champagne region before catching a glimpse of the distant Paris skyline during the descent into Beauvais.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

High Tatra Mountains

Shortly after takeoff from Rzeszów, look south to see the dramatic, jagged peaks of the High Tatras forming the border with Slovakia.

🏰

Kraków and Wawel

The flight path often passes just north of Kraków, providing a perfect view of the Vistula River and the historic royal castle.

⛰️

Vosges Mountains

As you cross from Germany into France, the rounded peaks and dense forests of the Vosges mountain range dominate the southern horizon.

🥂

Champagne Vineyards

Fly over the orderly, rolling hills of the Reims and Épernay regions, characterized by the distinct patterns of world-famous vineyards.

🗼

Paris Skyline

During the descent into Beauvais, on clear days, the Eiffel Tower and the skyscrapers of La Défense are visible on the southern horizon.

For the best visibility of the Tatras and the French landscape, choose a seat behind the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Morning flights are ideal as the sun is positioned to the southeast, beautifully illuminating the southern mountain ranges without causing heavy glare on your window. Always check the weather for the Champagne region, as low clouds are common in autumn.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
🏢

Wrocław Urban Area

A clear view of the 'City of a Hundred Bridges' and the winding Oder River as the flight traverses Western Poland.

🌊

Elbe River Valley

Crossing the Elbe near Dresden provides a look at the historic Saxon landscape and the unique sandstone formations nearby.

🌲

Thuringian Forest

A vast expanse of dark green coniferous forest stretching across Central Germany, offering a stark contrast to the urban centers.

🏰

Château de Pierrefonds

An impressive, fairy-tale-like fortified castle situated in the forest of Compiègne shortly before landing at BVA.

🌾

Picardy Mosaic

The final approach features the colorful, geometric agricultural 'quilt' typical of the Picardy region's fertile plains.

The right side is excellent for evening flights, as you can witness the sunset over the horizon without the direct intensity of the sun. It also provides the best views of the German industrial heartland and the lush forests of Northern France. If landing towards the West, this side gives an intimate view of the rural Picardy villages surrounding the Beauvais airport.
