Which side of the plane to sit from Split Airport (Split) to Warsaw Chopin Airport (Warsaw)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a breathtaking departure over the Adriatic islands and a stunning close-up of the High Tatras during the descent into Poland.
Dalmatian Archipelago
Immediately after takeoff, view the crystal clear waters and the islands of Brač, Hvar, and Šolta scattered across the Adriatic.
Dinaric Alps
Cross the rugged, karst limestone peaks of the Velebit range as the flight heads north into the Balkan interior.
Lake Balaton
Pass over the 'Hungarian Sea,' the largest lake in Central Europe, known for its distinct turquoise-green shallow waters.
High Tatras
The most dramatic part of the flight, offering views of the jagged, alpine peaks along the Slovakia-Poland border.
Warsaw City Center
On final approach, catch a glimpse of the Palace of Culture and Science and the modern skyscrapers of the Polish capital.
Sit in an 'A' seat for the best panoramic views. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the Croatian coast and the Tatra mountains. In winter, the snow-covered peaks of the Tatras are exceptionally photogenic.
Mount Mosor
Directly after departure, look out for the massive grey limestone ridges that tower over the city of Split.
Danube River
View the massive curves of the Danube as it winds through the Great Hungarian Plain toward Budapest.
Kraków Region
As you enter Polish airspace, the historic landscape of Lesser Poland and the distant silhouette of Wawel Castle may be visible.
Vistula River
Follow the longest river in Poland as it meanders toward Warsaw, characterized by its wide, sandy banks.
Choose a 'F' seat if you prefer watching the sunrise over the Balkan mountains. This side is often better for spotting the winding path of the Vistula River during the final 20 minutes of flight. Keep an eye out for the expansive agricultural patterns of the Polish countryside.
