WAWEIN

Which side of the plane to sit from Warsaw Chopin Airport (Warsaw) to Eindhoven Airport (Eindhoven)?

Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of major urban centers including a potential distant look at Berlin and clear views of the transition from the Polish plains to the Dutch borderlands.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌇

Warsaw Skyline

Spectacular views of the Palace of Culture and Science and central skyscrapers during northern departures.

⛪

Poznań

The historic 'Ostrów Tumski' and the Warta river are visible approximately 25-30 minutes into the flight.

🐻

Berlin Metropolitan Area

The sprawling German capital can often be spotted to the north, distinguished by its unique circular rail line.

✈️

Münster/Osnabrück

Clear views of the North German Plain and the distinctive architecture of these historic Westphalian cities.

🇳🇱

Twente Region

The transition into the Netherlands is marked by the distinctive, neatly partitioned agricultural patchwork of the Twente area.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, preventing glare on the window. Keep your eyes peeled about 45 minutes after takeoff for the best chance to spot the Berlin urban area to the north. If the flight lands from the north, you may also see the city of Eindhoven itself before touchdown.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🏙️

Warsaw Southern Suburbs

Views of the Vistula river snaking south of the capital immediately after departure.

🌲

Harz Mountains

On clear days, the forested peaks of Germany's northernmost mountain range are visible to the south.

🏭

The Ruhr Area

A massive sprawl of industrial and urban connectivity across Western Germany becomes visible during the descent.

🌊

Rhine River

A glimpse of the iconic European waterway as the aircraft approaches the German-Dutch border.

Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Watch for the industrial landscape of the Ruhr valley as you enter the final third of the journey. In winter, the Harz mountains are often capped with snow, providing a sharp contrast to the surrounding plains.
