Berlin Skyline
Unrivaled views of the Fernsehturm, Reichstag, and the dense urban core of Berlin shortly after departure.
Oder River Border
The international border crossing at Frankfurt (Oder) and Słubice marked by the wide river channel.
Poznań Cityscape
A clear view of the Warta river and the historic cathedrals of one of Poland's oldest cities.
Warsaw Skyscrapers
During the western approach (RWY 11/15), the Palace of Culture and Science and modern glass towers are visible.
Vistula River
The longest river in Poland, providing a scenic guide as the aircraft aligns for final approach into WAW.
The right side is best for photography. On morning flights, the sun is behind you, illuminating the cities perfectly. During landing, keep your camera ready as the plane descends over the southern suburbs and potentially circles the city center, offering a great look at the National Stadium.

Tegeler See
Immediate views of the large lake and its islands just north of the former TXL airport site.
Barnim Nature Park
Dense woodlands and small glacial lakes located just north of the Berlin city limits.
Noteć River Valley
The winding silver ribbon of the Noteć river as it meanders through the fertile plains of western Poland.
Kampinos National Park
A massive forest complex located just west of Warsaw, serving as the city's green lungs.
Modlin Area
The confluence of the Vistula and Narew rivers near the secondary airport of Warsaw.
Sit on the left for softer, indirect light during midday flights. It is particularly scenic in autumn when the Kampinos Forest colors turn gold. Watch for the geometric patterns of Polish farmland which are very distinct from this side.
