WROBVA

Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a more diverse landscape, featuring the Sudetes mountains immediately after takeoff, the rolling highlands of central Germany, and the iconic vineyard mosaics of the Champagne region in France.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Sudetes Mountains

The Karkonosze range and Śnieżka peak are visible along the Polish-Czech border shortly after departure.

🌲

Erzgebirge Range

Dense forests and ridges of the Ore Mountains marking the transition from Saxony into Thuringia.

🏙️

Frankfurt am Main

Distant views of Germany's primary financial hub and its distinctive cluster of skyscrapers.

🍷

Champagne Vineyards

The meticulously patterned grape fields of the Reims area appearing as the flight enters French airspace.

🏰

Luxembourg City

The dramatic cliffs and valleys of the Alzette River surrounding this historic capital city.

Sit on the left for morning flights to enjoy front-lit views of the mountains without sun glare. This side is also superior for spotting the Eiffel Tower in the far distance if the approach into BVA swings slightly south of the standard path.

Right Side Highlights
6.5
🏙️

Leipzig

A clear view of the Monument to the Battle of the Nations and the large urban layout of this Saxon city.

⛰️

Harz Mountains

The northernmost mountain range in Germany, often capped with snow or mist in winter months.

🌳

Ardennes Forest

The rugged, rolling hills of the Belgian and French Ardennes, known for their deep green canopies.

🚜

Picardy Plains

The vast, colorful agricultural patchwork of northern France characteristic of the approach to Beauvais.

⛪

Beauvais Cathedral

The towering, unfinished Gothic choir of Saint-Pierre de Beauvais is a prominent landmark during the final descent.

The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to avoid direct sunlight. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes of flight; the descent into BVA often provides an excellent low-altitude view of the rural French landscape and the town of Beauvais itself.
