Which side of the plane to sit from Stavanger Airport Sola (Stavanger) to Katowice International Airport (Katowice)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this route as it offers the most dramatic views of the Norwegian fjords upon departure and provides a clearer perspective of the Danish archipelagos and the Øresund region.
Rogaland Fjords
Immediately after takeoff from Sola, you get breathtaking views of the rugged Norwegian coastline and deep glacial inlets.
Storebælt Bridge
A clear view of the Great Belt Fixed Link connecting the Danish islands of Funen and Zealand.
Copenhagen Skyline
Distant but distinct views of the Danish capital and the famous Øresund Bridge connecting to Sweden.
Bornholm Island
This rocky Danish outpost in the middle of the Baltic Sea is often visible as a solitary green landmass.
Pomeranian Lake District
As you enter Polish airspace, the landscape is dotted with hundreds of small post-glacial lakes and dense forests.
For the best experience, choose a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Norwegian fjords and Danish islands. During the winter months, look for the contrast of frozen lakes in Northern Poland.
Jutland West Coast
The sandy beaches and dunes of the Danish peninsula's western edge are visible during the initial cruise phase.
Szczecin Lagoon
The vast estuarine water body at the mouth of the Oder River marking the border between Germany and Poland.
Sudetes Mountains
On very clear days, the distant peaks of the Karkonosze range can be seen far to the southwest.
Silesian Industrial Region
The dense network of cities, mines, and industrial sites becomes prominent during the descent into Katowice.
Wielkopolska Plains
A patchwork of traditional Polish farmland and agricultural patterns visible during the mid-flight segment.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights if you want to avoid direct glare from the sun. Keep an eye out for the industrial landscape of the Upper Silesian Metropolis during the final 15 minutes of flight; the contrast between green areas and heavy industry is unique to this region.
