Which side of the plane to sit from Tbilisi International Airport (Tbilisi) to Warsaw Chopin Airport (Warsaw)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior for this route because it offers an unparalleled view of the Greater Caucasus Mountains immediately after departure from Tbilisi, including the potential to see Mount Kazbek, followed by the intricate patterns of the Danube Delta.
Greater Caucasus Range
A breathtaking panorama of snow-capped peaks, including the 5,047m Mount Kazbek, visible just minutes after departure.
Black Sea Expanse
Clear views of the deep blue waters and the northern horizon as you transit from Georgia to Romania.
Danube Delta
The complex network of river branches and wetlands where the Danube meets the Black Sea near the Romanian border.
Eastern Carpathians
Dense, dark forests and rolling mountain ridges spanning the border of Romania and Ukraine.
Vistula River & Warsaw
On the final approach into Chopin Airport, you can often see the winding Vistula River and the Warsaw skyline.
The first 20 minutes are critical on the right side; ensure your camera is ready for the Caucasus peaks immediately after wheels-up from TBS. To avoid harsh sun glare while flying westward, morning flights are ideal for this side. Look for the distinctive green and brown patterns of the Danube Delta about halfway through the journey.
Lesser Caucasus Mountains
View the rugged landscapes of southern Georgia and the Armenian border shortly after takeoff.
Romanian Coastline
The city of Constanța and the Black Sea beaches are visible as the flight enters European airspace.
Transylvanian Alps
The jagged limestone peaks of the Southern Carpathian Mountains in central Romania.
Tatra Mountains
Dramatic, alpine scenery on the border of Slovakia and Poland during the initial descent phase.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to enjoy softer lighting over the European mountain ranges. This side is also better for spotting the historic city of Kraków if the flight path tracks slightly further south before turning toward Warsaw. Keep your window shade open during the last 45 minutes of the flight for the best terrain views.
