Which side of the plane to sit from Warsaw Chopin Airport (Warsaw) to Poznań-Ławica Airport (Poznan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side provides a stunning vantage point of the Warsaw skyline immediately after takeoff, followed by views of the dense Kampinos National Park and the lakes surrounding Poznań on the descent.
Warsaw City Center
Unmatched views of the Palace of Culture and Science and the cluster of modern skyscrapers in the capital's heart.
Kampinos National Park
A vast UNESCO Biosphere Reserve consisting of ancient forests and inland dunes located just northwest of Warsaw.
Konin Industrial Basin
Unique aerial perspectives of the large open-pit brown coal mines and thermal power plants mid-flight.
Lake Kierskie
The largest lake in the Poznań area, often bustling with sailboats during the summer months, visible just before touchdown.
Choose the right side for the best chance to see the Warsaw skyline. For evening flights, this side offers beautiful sunset views over the Wielkopolska region. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff as the plane usually banks, providing a perfect angle of the Vistula River.
Chopin Airport Infrastructure
A comprehensive view of Poland's largest aviation hub and the southern Warsaw business district during initial climb.
Jeziorsko Reservoir
A large man-made lake on the Warta river, visible as a massive blue expanse amidst the agricultural fields.
Poznań Old Town
Views of the historical center, the colorful Market Square, and the distinctive City Hall tower during the final approach.
Poznań Stadium
The home of Lech Poznań, easily identifiable by its unique membrane roof structure near the airport.
Sit on the left if you prefer seeing the sprawling industrial and residential suburbs of Southern Warsaw and a direct view of Poznań's city center during a standard runway 28 landing. Morning flights are ideal for this side to avoid direct sun glare from the south.
