TRFLUZ

Which side of the plane to sit from Sandefjord Airport, Torp (Sandefjord) to Lublin Airport (Lublin)?

Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the dramatic Oslofjord during takeoff and a more consistent perspective of the Vistula River and potential Warsaw skyline during the transit across Poland.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Oslofjord Islands

Aerial views of the densely packed islands and summer cabins dotting the fjord immediately after departure from Torp.

⚓

Gdańsk Bay

If the flight path tracks east, you can spot the unique 35km long Hel Peninsula and the industrial ports of the Tri-City area.

🏙️

Warsaw Skyline

Distant views of the Palace of Culture and Science and the modern skyscrapers of the Polish capital.

🐍

Vistula River Meanders

The winding path of Poland's longest river as it cuts through the Masovian Lowlands towards the southeast.

🏘️

Lublin Highlands

The undulating landscape of the Lubelszczyzna region with its historic town layouts as you prepare for landing.

Sit on the left to avoid the harshest direct sunlight when flying southeast during the day. This side is particularly rewarding for photography during the first 15 minutes of the flight. Watch for the Hel Peninsula approximately 45 minutes into the journey, as it is one of the most recognizable coastal features in Europe.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🛶

Vestfold Coastline

Rugged granite shores and coastal towns of Southern Norway fading into the Skagerrak.

🌲

Pomeranian Lake District

A mosaic of deep blue glacial lakes and dense forests across North-Western Poland.

🚜

Polish Breadbasket

The striking 'strip-field' agricultural patterns characteristic of the Polish countryside, which change colors drastically with the seasons.

🏰

Lublin Old Town

A glimpse of the historic city center and the Lublin Castle depending on the specific approach vector into LUZ.

The right side is perfect for sunset enthusiasts on evening flights, as the sun will descend over the Polish plains. During the winter, this side offers beautiful views of the snow-covered agricultural fields which highlight the traditional narrow-strip land ownership patterns still common in Eastern Poland.
