WAW → LWO
Which side of the plane to sit from Warsaw Chopin Airport (Warsaw) to Lviv International Airport (Lvov)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the winding Vistula River shortly after takeoff and typically provides a more dramatic perspective of the historic Lviv city center during the final approach descent.

Vistula River Bend
The sweeping curves of Poland's longest river as the plane climbs out of the Warsaw area.
Holy Cross Mountains
Distant views of some of the oldest mountain ranges in Europe (Góry Świętokrzyskie) on the horizon.
Zamość
The UNESCO-listed 'Ideal City' known for its Renaissance architecture, visible as a distinct grid pattern.
Lviv Historic Center
The dense cluster of spires and cathedrals of Lviv's UNESCO Old Town during the descent into LWO.
Book an A or B seat for the best morning light. The approach into Lviv often loops from the south, making the right side the prime spot for viewing the High Castle hill and the architectural density of the city core. Keep your camera ready as soon as the landing gear drops.

Choose this side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct southern sun. It provides a great view of the Lublin Upland. Look out for the Wieprz river winding through the landscape halfway through the flight.
