WAW → RZE
Which side of the plane to sit from Warsaw Chopin Airport (Warsaw) to Rzeszów-Jasionka Airport (Rzeszow)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most iconic views of the Warsaw cityscape upon departure and follows the scenic path of the Vistula River, providing a clearer view of the lush Lublin Upland region.

Warsaw Skyline
Dramatic views of the Palace of Culture and Science and modern skyscrapers shortly after takeoff.
Wilanów Palace
The 'Polish Versailles' and its geometric gardens are often visible on the southern climb out of WAW.
Vistula River Meanders
The aircraft often parallels the Wisła, showing its natural sandbanks and winding course.
Lublin Upland
Rolling hills and a patchwork of narrow, colorful agricultural fields unique to Eastern Poland.
Stalowa Wola
The industrial landscape and steelworks mark the transition into the Subcarpathian province.
Book an early morning flight for soft light over the Vistula. If taking off towards the south (Runway 15), the left side provides an immediate view of the Kabaty Woods and Wilanów district. During the winter, the frozen river sections are particularly photogenic from this side.

Kozienice Forest
A vast green expanse of protected woodland visible mid-flight.
Radom City
The dense urban layout of Radom is a primary landmark on the western flight corridor.
Holy Cross Mountains
On clear days, the distant silhouette of the Łysogóry range, Poland's oldest mountains, appears on the horizon.
Sandomierz Basin
Wide lowland plains that characterize the approach into the Jasionka airport area.
Rzeszów Suburbs
The northern residential expansion of Rzeszów is visible during the final descent phase.
The right side is best for sunset flights as the sun drops over Central Poland. Keep an eye out for the Góry Świętokrzyskie (Holy Cross Mountains) in the distance; they are low but distinct on the horizon. Use high-speed shutters for ground detail, as the flight stays at a relatively low cruising altitude due to the short distance.
