WRO → WMI
Which side of the plane to sit from Copernicus Wrocław Airport (Wroclaw) to Modlin Airport (Warsaw)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Wrocław city skyline immediately after takeoff and provides a clear perspective of the Vistula River and the historic Modlin Fortress during the final approach.
Wrocław Old Town
Excellent views of the Market Square, Cathedral Island, and the Odra River bridges shortly after lifting off from WRO.
Sky Tower
The tallest building in Wrocław stands out prominently against the cityscape during the departure phase.
Modlin Fortress
One of the largest 19th-century fortresses in Europe, situated at the confluence of the Vistula and Narew rivers.
Vistula River Confluence
The scenic meeting point of Poland's major rivers, visible just moments before the wheels touch down at WMI.
The right side is essential for photographers wanting to capture the historic Modlin Fortress during landing. On evening flights, you may see the distant glow of the Warsaw city center skyline to the southeast during the descent.
Sudetes Mountains
On clear days, the distant peaks of the Karkonosze range are visible to the south during the initial climb.
Jeziorsko Reservoir
A massive artificial lake on the Warta River that serves as a prominent blue landmark midway through the flight.
Kampinos National Park
A vast expanse of protected forest and sand dunes located just south of the descent path into Modlin.
Choose this side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep an eye out for the Jeziorsko Reservoir roughly 15 minutes into the flight, as its scale is impressive from cruising altitude.
