Our Recommendation
7.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a more scenic perspective of the Baltic-adjacent lake districts in Northern Poland and the vast forest reserves of Western Belarus.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Berlin Skyline

Detailed views of the city's eastern sprawl and the expansive forests around the Dahme-Spree region upon takeoff.

🌊

Oder-Neisse Border

The crossing of the river that marks the international boundary between Germany and Poland.

🏞️

Pomeranian Lakelands

A stunning mosaic of thousands of glacial lakes scattered across northern Poland, visible at cruising altitude.

🏗️

Gdańsk Bay Horizon

On clear days, the northern horizon offers a distant glimpse toward the Baltic Sea and the Tri-City area.

🌲

Belarusian Taiga

Dense, unbroken stretches of deep green forest as the flight path enters the less populated regions of Belarus.

Choose a seat ahead of the wing for unobstructed views of the Polish Lake District. Morning flights are ideal for this side as the sun remains to the south, perfectly illuminating the northern landscapes without glare. In winter, look for the contrast of frozen lakes against dark forest canopies.

Right Side Highlights
6.5
🏘️

Poznań Metropolitan Area

The historic Polish city and its surrounding industrial and residential clusters are often visible shortly after the border.

🌾

Central Polish Plains

Vast agricultural landscapes featuring a unique patchwork of strip-farming that changes color dramatically with the seasons.

🌉

Vistula River

A major crossing of Poland's longest river, often seen winding through the plains toward Warsaw.

🏢

Warsaw Peripheral View

Depending on the specific air corridor, the distant skyline or suburban sprawl of the Polish capital may be visible.

🚜

Minsk Rural Approach

Traditional Belarusian villages and collective farm structures visible during the final descent into Minsk National Airport.

This side is better for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the southern sun. It offers the best views of the geometric agricultural patterns characteristic of Eastern Europe. During late autumn, the golden hues of the harvested fields are particularly photogenic from this side.
