TXL → KRK
Which side of the plane to sit from Berlin-Tegel Airport (Berlin) to Kraków John Paul II International Airport (Krakow)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer urban views, the Right Side is superior for its distant mountain vistas of the Sudetes and Tatras, as well as unique aerial views of the Lusatian Lake District and the Silesian industrial landscape during the descent into Kraków.

Lusatian Lake District
A stunning landscape of man-made lakes created from reclaimed open-cast lignite mines near the German-Polish border.
Giant Mountains (Karkonosze)
On clear days, the snow-capped peak of Śnieżka is visible on the southern horizon.
Sky Tower Wrocław
Spot Poland's tallest residential building standing prominently above the surrounding Lower Silesian plains.
Tatra Mountains
The dramatic high peaks of the Tatras appear on the horizon during the final descent into Kraków-Balice.
Gliwice and Katowice
A birds-eye view of the dense urban rail and road infrastructure of Poland's heavy industrial heartland.
The right side is highly recommended for mountain enthusiasts. Look for the Sudetes range mid-flight and the High Tatras during the approach to KRK. Late afternoon flights offer spectacular 'Golden Hour' lighting over the Silesian landscape, though the sun will be on this side of the aircraft, so bring sunglasses.
