Our Recommendation
8.4

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the dramatic Norwegian coastline and fjords immediately after takeoff, followed by a panoramic perspective of the Baltic coast and a prime view of Krakow's historic center upon landing.

Left Side Highlights
8.4
🇳🇴

Rogaland Fjords

Breathtaking views of the Lysefjord and the iconic Preikestolen cliff shortly after departing Stavanger.

🌊

Sørlandet Coast

The intricate 'skjærgård' or archipelago of Southern Norway, featuring thousands of tiny islands and rocky inlets.

🇩🇰

Danish Archipelago

Views of the northern tip of Denmark where the Skagerrak meets the Kattegat sea.

🏖️

Pomeranian Bay

The white sandy beaches and coastal forests of northern Poland as the flight crosses into Polish airspace.

🏰

Kraków Old Town

On a standard approach from the west, this side provides a stunning view of Wawel Castle and the Main Market Square.

Book a window seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Norwegian fjords within the first 10 minutes of flight. This side is also better for photography during afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, reducing glare and cabin reflections.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
🌊

North Sea Horizon

The vast, open expanse of the North Sea where it transitions into the Skagerrak strait.

🇩🇰

Jutland West Coast

The dramatic sand dunes and long beaches of Denmark's western shoreline.

🏙️

Wrocław Cityscape

Depending on the specific airway, the historic 'City of a Hundred Bridges' may be visible in the distance.

🐍

Vistula River Meanders

The winding curves of the Vistula river as it snakes through the Malopolska countryside.

🏔️

High Tatras

On clear days, the jagged, snow-capped peaks of the Tatra Mountains are visible far to the south during descent.

While this side is often in direct sunlight for southbound flights, it offers the best chance to spot the Tatra Mountains on the horizon as you descend into Kraków. Use a polarizing filter if taking photos to cut through the atmospheric haze common over Central Europe.
