About This Route
Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Kastrup (CPH) to Okecie (WAW)?
Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Copenhagen to Warsaw. Right-side seats capture the most geographically distinctive features: the Øresund Strait and Swedish coast during departure, then the Baltic Sea and southern Swedish coastline during the cruise segment, before the Vistula River becomes visible on approach. Left seats miss the departure water features entirely.
