Which side of the plane to sit from Warsaw Chopin Airport (Warsaw) to Stavanger Airport Sola (Stavanger)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer coastal views, the right side provides the most iconic landmarks, including a potential view of the Oresund Bridge and the dramatic approach into the Norwegian fjord landscape.
Gdańsk Bay
Distant views of the Tricity area (Gdańsk, Sopot, Gdynia) and the Hel Peninsula protruding into the Baltic.
Oresund Bridge
Clear views of the massive bridge and tunnel system connecting Copenhagen, Denmark, with Malmö, Sweden.
Swedish Coastline
Aerial perspective of the rugged, rocky shores of southern Sweden and the Kattegat sea.
Rogaland Fjords
Dramatic views of the archipelago and the mouth of the Lysefjord as the aircraft turns toward Sola Airport.
The right side is significantly more scenic for landmarks. Ensure you are looking out approximately 45-60 minutes into the flight for the Oresund Bridge. On a clear day during the descent, you may catch a glimpse of the mountains surrounding the famous Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock) to the east.
Warsaw Skyline
Excellent views of the Palace of Culture and Science and the Vistula River immediately after takeoff from Chopin Airport.
Pomeranian Coast
Views of the sandy white beaches and coastal forests of the Polish Baltic shore near Świnoujście.
Jæren Plains
As you descend into Stavanger, see the unique flat agricultural landscape of Jæren, quite rare for Norway.
North Sea Sunset
On evening flights, the left side faces south/southwest, catching the golden hour glow over the open water.
Choose this side if your flight is in the late afternoon to avoid direct glare from the sun. It offers a more serene view of the Baltic and North Sea horizons. Pay attention during the final 10 minutes of flight for the characteristic stone-walled fields of the Jæren region.
