WAW β†’ KUT

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

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Carpathian mountain range across Romania and a more dramatic perspective of the Georgian coastline and Lesser Caucasus during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Tatra Mountains

The rugged, alpine peaks of the High Tatras on the border of Poland and Slovakia are visible in the distance.

🌲

Southern Carpathians

Extensive views of the Transylvanian Alps, featuring dense forests and dramatic limestone ridges across Romania.

🏝️

Snake Island

The isolated, rocky outcrop of Zmiinyi Island in the northern Black Sea can sometimes be seen depending on the corridor.

πŸ–οΈ

Adjara Coastline

The lush, subtropical greenery of the Georgian coast near Poti as the plane transitions from sea to land.

πŸ”οΈ

Lesser Caucasus

The rolling, emerald-green ridges of the Lesser Caucasus mountains frame the southern horizon during the final approach.

The right side is prime for mountain enthusiasts. For the best photos of the Romanian Carpathians, fly during midday when the sun is high to minimize shadows in the deep valleys. During the descent into KUT, watch for the stark contrast between the Black Sea and the intense greenery of the Colchic rainforests.

Vistula River Meanders

Follow the winding path of Poland's longest river as the aircraft heads southeast toward the border.

IaΘ™i Cityscape

The historic Romanian city of IaΘ™i and its prominent Palace of Culture can often be spotted mid-flight.

🌊

Black Sea Crossing

A vast expanse of deep blue water as the plane leaves the Romanian coast for the trans-sea leg.

Greater Caucasus Peaks

On clear days, the distant snow-capped silhouettes of the highest mountains in Europe are visible to the north during descent.

Sit here for early morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the southern sun. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing to catch the glint of the Rioni River reflecting the sun. In winter, the Greater Caucasus peaks appear more distinct against the horizon.
