TRF β WAW
Which side of the plane to sit from Sandefjord Airport, Torp (Sandefjord) to Warsaw Chopin Airport (Warsaw)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior sequence of geographical features, starting with the intricate islands of the Oslofjord and culminating in a spectacular aerial view of the Polish Tricity and the Hel Peninsula.
Oslofjord Archipelago
Breathtaking views of the rocky inlets and coastal islands immediately after takeoff from Torp.
Swedish West Coast
Distant views of the Gothenburg archipelago and the Swedish shoreline across the Skagerrak.
Hel Peninsula
The unique 35km long sandbar jutting into the Baltic Sea, visible as the flight enters Polish airspace.
GdaΕsk Bay
A panoramic view of the Tricity area, including the historic shipyards and the port of Gdynia.
Mazovian Lowlands
The characteristic patchwork of Polish agricultural fields during the final descent into Warsaw.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. About 40-50 minutes into the flight, keep your eyes peeled for the distinctive 'hook' shape of the Hel Peninsula. If the plane approaches Warsaw from the north, this side provides a great view of the Vistula River snaking toward the city.
Vestfold Coastline
Views of the southern Norwegian coastal towns like Larvik as you head out over the open sea.
Kashubian Lake District
A dense cluster of glacial lakes and rolling forested hills in Northern Poland.
Kampinos National Park
A massive expanse of protected forest and sand dunes located just northwest of Warsaw.
Warsaw Skyline
Depending on the wind direction and landing pattern, you may see the cluster of skyscrapers in central Warsaw.
This side is excellent for evening flights, offering beautiful sunset reflections over the Baltic Sea. It provides a better perspective of the vast forest regions surrounding the Polish capital. Keep your camera ready during the last 15 minutes of the flight for potential views of the Warsaw city center if landing on runway 15.
