WAW → BRU
Which side of the plane to sit from Warsaw Chopin Airport (Warsaw) to Brussels Airport (Brussels)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of major urban centers including Poznań, the vast Berlin metropolitan area, and the dense industrial architecture of the Ruhr region.
Poznań
Clear views of the historic Old Town and the Warta River winding through the city.
Berlin Area
The massive urban footprint of the German capital is often visible to the North about midway through the flight.
Harz Mountains
The highest mountain range in Northern Germany, featuring the prominent Brocken peak.
Ruhr Metropolis
A dense cluster of cities including Dortmund and Essen, showcasing Germany's industrial heartland.
Antwerp Distant View
On clear days, the massive port cranes and city spires are visible during the final descent.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the North Sea horizon. During winter, look for the snow-dusted peaks of the Harz Mountains. Ensure your window is clear to spot the distinctive light grid of the Ruhr region at night.
Warsaw Skyline
Aerial view of the Vistula River and the Palace of Culture and Science shortly after takeoff.
Thuringian Forest
A large expanse of continuous forest and rolling hills across central Germany.
Ardennes Foothills
The green, rugged terrain of eastern Belgium visible during the initial descent.
Liège Industrial Zone
Intricate industrial landscapes and steelworks along the Meuse River valley.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you and enjoy softer lighting on the Polish plains. Watch for the sharp bend in the Meuse River as a signal that you are entering the final approach phase for Brussels.
