Which side of the plane to sit from Warsaw Chopin Airport (Warsaw) to Malmö Sturup Airport (Malmoe)?

Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Polish Baltic coastline, the iconic Danish island of Bornholm, and a stunning approach toward the Öresund region and Malmö city.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Warsaw Skyline

Panoramic view of the Palace of Culture and Science and the modern business district skyscrapers.

🏖️

Baltic Coastline

Long stretches of sandy beaches and the distinctive Hel Peninsula visible on the horizon.

🇩🇰

Bornholm Island

The rocky Danish island of Bornholm is a frequent landmark during the mid-flight Baltic crossing.

🌉

Öresund Bridge

The massive bridge connecting Sweden and Denmark is often visible on the descent into Sturup.

🏘️

Malmö Urban Area

Clear views of the Turning Torso skyscraper and the coastal architecture of Malmö city.

The right side is ideal for spotting maritime traffic in the Baltic Sea. During evening flights, the sunset reflects beautifully off the water. Keep your eyes peeled for the island of Bornholm roughly 40 minutes into the flight.

🌊

Vistula River Meanders

Aerial view of Poland's longest river snaking through the Mazovian lowlands immediately after takeoff.
