ZRH → WRO
Which side of the plane to sit from Zürich Airport (Zurich) to Copernicus Wrocław Airport (Wroclaw)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an unparalleled view of the Alps shortly after takeoff from Zurich, followed by a scenic path over the Bohemian Forest and the Giant Mountains near the Polish border.
Swiss & Austrian Alps
A stunning panoramic view of the snow-capped Central Alps stretching across the southern horizon immediately after takeoff.
Lake Constance
The vast 'Bodensee' where Switzerland, Germany, and Austria converge, often seen clearly from high altitude.
Prague
On clear days, the 'City of a Hundred Spires' can be spotted as the aircraft traverses the Czech Republic.
Karkonosze Mountains
The 'Giant Mountains' on the Polish-Czech border, featuring Sniezka peak, visible during the descent.
The right side is the clear winner for mountain lovers. For the most dramatic lighting on the Alps, book a morning flight. During winter, the snow-covered Karkonosze range is particularly striking as the plane descends toward the Odra river valley.
Black Forest
Distant views of the dark, dense evergreen forests of Southwestern Germany shortly after departure.
Nuremberg
Look for the historic urban sprawl of this Bavarian city as the flight crosses into Central Germany.
Ore Mountains
The rolling hills and ridges of the Erzgebirge marking the natural border between Saxony and the Czech Republic.
Dresden Elbe Valley
If the flight path trends slightly north, the winding Elbe river and Dresden's skyline are visible.
Sit on the left if you prefer to avoid direct sunlight when flying during the morning or midday. This side offers better views of the Saxon landscapes and the industrial heart of Lower Silesia during the final approach into Wroclaw.
