The left side provides consistent, soft lighting as the sun remains to the south for most of the flight. It is ideal for photographers looking to avoid direct glare. During winter months, the low sun angle makes the snowy landscapes of Eastern Europe appear to shimmer. Watch for the Vistula River as you cross near Warsaw.
