WAW β KUT
Which side of the plane to sit from Warsaw Chopin Airport (Warsaw) to Kopitnari Airport (Kutaisi)?
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.
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.
Adjara Coastline
The lush, subtropical greenery of the Georgian coast near Poti as the plane transitions from sea to land.
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.
Warsaw Skyline
Aerial view of the Palace of Culture and Science and the modern skyscrapers of central Warsaw shortly after takeoff.
Vistula River Meanders
Follow the winding path of Poland's longest river as the aircraft heads southeast toward the border.
IaΘi Cityscape
The historic Romanian city of IaΘi 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.
