TRD → KRK
Which side of the plane to sit from Trondheim Airport Værnes (Trondheim) to Kraków John Paul II International Airport (Krakow)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of Norway's most rugged mountain ranges shortly after takeoff and provides a better vantage point for the Tatra Mountains during the descent into Krakow.
Dovrefjell-Sunndalsfjella
Breathtaking views of the high plateau and the massive Snøhetta peak, one of Norway's most iconic mountains.
Lake Vänern
The vast expanse of Sweden's largest lake, which looks like an inland sea from cruising altitude.
Bornholm Island
A distinct green island in the middle of the Baltic Sea, often passed directly or slightly to the west.
Polish Lowlands
The patchwork quilt of long, narrow agricultural fields that define the rural landscape of central Poland.
High Tatra Mountains
On a clear day during the descent into Krakow, the jagged granite peaks of the Carpathians rise sharply on the southern horizon.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the Baltic. The first 20 minutes of the flight are the most scenic for mountain lovers. During landing at KRK, look south to spot the snow-capped Tatras; they are most visible during the autumn and spring months when the air is crisp and clear.
Trondheimsfjord
Dramatic views of the deep blue fjord and the surrounding forested hills of Trøndelag immediately after departure.
Sylan Mountains
The jagged peaks along the Swedish-Norwegian border, known for their alpine character and snow-capped summits.
Hel Peninsula
A remarkably narrow, 35km long sand spit that curves into the Baltic Sea near the city of Gdańsk.
Gdańsk Bay
The busy shipping lanes and port infrastructure of the Tricity area as the plane enters Polish airspace.
Vistula River Meanders
Follow the path of Poland's longest river as it snakes through the central plains toward the south.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. It provides the best view of the Baltic coastline and the unique geography of the Hel Peninsula. Keep an eye out for the Swedish archipelago as you transition from the Scandinavian peninsula to the sea.
