Which side of the plane to sit from Modlin Airport (Warsaw) to Eindhoven Airport (Eindhoven)?

Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Brandenburg lake district, the Berlin metropolitan area, and the characteristic Dutch polders during the descent into Eindhoven.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
💧

Vistula River

Immediately after takeoff from Modlin, you get a clear view of the winding Vistula and Narew river confluence.

🏛️

Berlin Metropolitan Area

The flight path often passes just south of Berlin, offering views of the TV Tower, Tempelhofer Feld, and Wannsee.

⛰️

Harz Mountains

The northernmost range in Germany, featuring the Brocken peak, often visible rising above the North German Plain.

🌳

Hoge Veluwe

As you enter Dutch airspace, look for the largest forested area of the Netherlands, a stark contrast to the surrounding farms.

🇳🇱

Maas River Meanders

During the final approach, the intricate canal systems and the winding Maas river near Oss are clearly visible.

Sit on the right for the best chance to see Berlin; keep your eyes peeled roughly 30 to 45 minutes after departure from Modlin. On clear days, you may even spot the distant North Sea coastline on the horizon as you reach cruising altitude over Northern Germany.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Łódź Urban Area

Aerial view of Poland's third-largest city, showcasing its unique industrial-era rectangular street grid.

🌲

Thuringian Forest

The 'Green Heart of Germany' appears as a massive, dark green forested mountain range to the south.

🏰

Rhine-Ruhr Megacity

A sprawling view of one of Europe's most densely populated regions, including the skyline of Düsseldorf.

🌉

Rhine River Crossing

The flight typically crosses the Rhine near the German-Dutch border, revealing industrial ports and heavy barge traffic.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. This side is better for spotting the dense urban constellations of Western Germany's industrial core during the second half of the flight.
