RZE → WAW
Which side of the plane to sit from Rzeszów-Jasionka Airport (Rzeszow) to Warsaw Chopin Airport (Warsaw)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is significantly more scenic as it parallels the Vistula River for much of the journey and typically offers the most iconic views of the Warsaw skyline and the National Stadium during the final approach.

Historic Sandomierz
A stunning perspective of the medieval 'Little Rome' perched on the hills above the Vistula River.
Vistula River Meanders
The flight path often follows the winding path of Poland's longest river, showing its wild, unregulated banks.
Warsaw Skyscrapers
On the standard approach to Runway 33, passengers get a breathtaking view of the Palace of Culture and the modern skyline.
National Stadium
The red-and-white 'PGE Narodowy' stadium is clearly visible near the riverbanks during the descent.
Warsaw Bridges
A bird's-eye view of the numerous bridges connecting the left and right banks of the Vistula.
For the ultimate 'arrival in Warsaw' experience, the right side is essential. Sit slightly behind the wing for unobstructed views of the city center. Morning flights provide excellent front-lighting on the Sandomierz architecture. During winter, look for ice floes on the Vistula, which create a striking mosaic effect from above.

Jasionka Aerospace Hub
Immediate views of the Rzeszów-Jasionka industrial zone and the G2A Arena shortly after takeoff.
Stalowa Wola
A clear view of this major industrial center and its grid-like urban layout in northern Podkarpacie.
Radom Airbase
The military and civil airport infrastructure of Radom is often visible during the mid-flight cruise.
Masovian Plain
Expansive views of the agricultural heartland of Poland, characterized by narrow, colorful strip fields.
Choose the left side for evening flights to enjoy the sunset over the Polish countryside. This side is also excellent for observing the unique 'checkerboard' pattern of traditional Polish narrow-field farming. While less scenic than the right during the approach to Warsaw, it offers a quieter view of the suburban expansion west of the capital.
