Our Recommendation
7.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Polish Lake Districts and typically provides the best angle for the Warsaw city skyline during the approach to Chopin Airport.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🛶

Drawskie Lakeland

Pockets of deep blue lakes nestled within the dense forests of West Pomerania.

🌾

Warta River Valley

The meandering path of the Warta river crossing through the agricultural heartland of central Poland.

🌊

Włocławek Reservoir

The largest artificial lake in Poland, created by the damming of the Vistula River.

🏢

Warsaw City Skyline

Iconic views of the Palace of Culture and Science alongside modern skyscrapers like Varso Tower.

✈️

Służewiec District

Detailed views of the horse racing track and the business district known as 'Mordor' just before touchdown.

The right side is highly recommended for the afternoon to avoid the sun's glare. During the final approach (Runway 33 or 15), this side usually offers the best panorama of Warsaw's growing skyline. Keep your window shade up for the last 15 minutes.

🏙️

Stargard Old Town

Aerial view of the historical medieval towers and red-brick Gothic architecture shortly after takeoff.

💧

Lake Miedwie

A massive post-glacial lake visible to the northeast, known for its remarkably clear water.

🏭

Płock Industrial Zone

The sprawling complex of the Orlen refinery, which is especially striking when illuminated during night flights.

🌲

Kampinos National Park

A vast expanse of protected forest and sand dunes located just northwest of the Warsaw metropolitan area.

Sit on the left side during morning flights to have the sun behind you for better photography. This side is ideal for spotting the industrial landmarks of Płock and the dense greenery of the Kampinos Forest during the descent.
