ZAD → WAW
Which side of the plane to sit from Zadar Airport (Zadar) to Warsaw Chopin Airport (Warsaw)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic Velebit mountain range immediately after takeoff and a stunning perspective of the High Tatras near the Polish border.
Velebit Mountains
Exceptional views of Croatia's rugged limestone peaks and the Lika plateau shortly after departure.
Zagreb Cityscape
A clear view of the red roofs and cathedral of the Croatian capital as the flight path heads north.
High Tatra Mountains
The flight's highlight, featuring the jagged, high-altitude peaks of the Carpathian range along the Slovak-Polish border.
Warsaw Skyline
As the plane descends, the modern skyscrapers of Warsaw are often visible during the final approach into Chopin Airport.
For the most dramatic experience, choose the right side on morning flights when the sun illuminates the eastern faces of the mountains. Be alert immediately after takeoff, as the Velebit range appears almost instantly and provides some of the best photo opportunities of the trip.
Adriatic Coastline
Stunning views of the Zadar archipelago and the deep blue waters of the Adriatic during the initial climb.
Eastern Alpine Edge
Distant glimpses of the snow-capped Austrian Alps as the plane cruises over Central Europe.
Danube River Cities
Potential views of the urban landscapes of Vienna and Bratislava in the distance to the west.
Moravian Landscapes
The rolling hills and historic castles of the South Moravian region in the Czech Republic.
Opt for the left side during late afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun. This side is better for observing the transition from the Mediterranean coast to the structured landscapes of Central Europe.
