WAW → ODS
Which side of the plane to sit from Warsaw Chopin Airport (Warsaw) to Odessa International Airport (Odessa)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a more scenic descent over the Dniester Estuary and the golden beaches of the Black Sea coastline.
Carpathian Horizon
On clear days, the distant silhouettes of the Tatra and Bieszczady mountains are visible to the south.
Lviv Region
The historic urban sprawl and surrounding forests of Western Ukraine's cultural capital.
Dniester Canyon
Spectacular meandering loops of the Dniester River as it carves through the Podolian Upland.
Transnistria Border
Aerial perspective of the border region between Moldova and Ukraine, marked by the Dniester River.
Black Sea Coast
Direct views of the Arcadia and Lanzheron beaches during the final approach into ODS.
The right side is the clear winner for the approach into Odessa. Depending on the wind direction, you may fly directly over the Dniester Estuary. Afternoon flights offer a stunning golden glow over the river canyons of Western Ukraine.
Warsaw Skyline
Panoramic view of the Vistula River and the central business district shortly after departure from Chopin Airport.
Lublin Uplands
The patchwork of agricultural fields and rolling hills characteristic of southeastern Poland.
Southern Bug River
Visual of the winding river system as it flows through the central Ukrainian plains.
Kuyalnik Estuary
A unique hypersaline lake north of Odessa known for its therapeutic mud and striking pinkish-red water.
Odessa Port
A top-down view of the massive cranes and shipping containers in one of the Black Sea's largest commercial hubs.
The left side is preferable for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes of flight to capture the industrial geometry of the port and the vibrant colors of the Kuyalnik lagoon.
