Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior vantage point for the rolling landscapes of the Ardennes, the historic vineyards of the Champagne region, and a higher probability of spotting the Paris skyline during the approach into Beauvais.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Warsaw Skyline

Upon departure from Modlin, a sharp climb provides a distant but clear view of the Warsaw Palace of Culture and Science to the south.

🏰

Silesian Lowlands

As the flight crosses Southwestern Poland, you can spot the patchworked fields and historic towns of the Lower Silesia region.

⛰️

Harz Mountains

Crossing Central Germany, the rugged, forested peaks of the Harz National Park are often visible under the wing.

🌲

The Ardennes

The flight path traverses the dense, hilly forests of the Ardennes across the Belgian and French borders.

🍇

Champagne Vineyards

Approaching France, look for the meticulously organized rows of the world-famous Reims and Épernay wine regions.

🗼

Paris Distant View

During the descent into BVA, if the aircraft loops south, the Eiffel Tower and La Défense skyline are visible on the horizon.

To maximize your experience, choose a seat behind the wing to avoid engine obstruction. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent lighting for photos of the German and French countryside. Keep an eye out about 20 minutes before landing for the distinct urban sprawl of Paris to the south.

Right Side Highlights
6.4
🏢

Berlin Urban Area

Flights often pass just north or south of Berlin, offering a sprawling view of the German capital's unique urban layout.

🌾

North German Plain

Enjoy the vast, flat agricultural expanses and wind farms that define the landscape of Northern Germany.

🚢

The Rhine River

Spot the winding silver ribbon of the Rhine as the aircraft crosses into the western industrial heartland near the Ruhr.

🏘️

Picardy Villages

As the flight enters the Beauvais region, the right side offers charming views of red-roofed villages and the Cathedral of Saint Peter.

The right side is best for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. If the flight takes a northern corridor, you might catch a glimpse of the North Sea coastline in the far distance near the Dutch border. It's generally quieter for landscape viewing away from the major urban centers.
