Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Athens to Warsaw. While takeoff offers good Aegean coastal views on the right, the landing approach into Warsaw on the left provides more dramatic and varied scenery—the Vistula River's distinctive meanders and Warsaw's urban landscape are more visually engaging than the relatively uniform Polish countryside during cruise.

During takeoff from Athinai (HEW), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of the Saronic Gulf and the Attica coastline as the aircraft climbs northwestward. You'll see the irregular Greek coastline with its peninsulas and islands receding beneath you. Notable sights include: Saronic Gulf, Attica Peninsula coastline, Mount Hymettus (inland to the left), Aegean Sea horizon.

When landing at Okecie (WAW), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views during the descent approach into Warsaw. You'll see the Vistula River valley and the city's urban sprawl as you descend toward Okecie Airport on the city's southwestern edge. Notable sights include: Vistula River and its meandering course, Warsaw city center and districts, Masovian Lowlands, Okecie Airport approach.

The flight from Athinai (HEW) to Okecie (WAW) takes Approximately 3 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Balkans northwestward: you'll pass over the Pindus Mountains in northern Greece, then the Šar Mountains and Kosovo region, followed by the Hungarian Plain and Carpathian foothills. The Danube River is visible during the central portion of the flight. Most of this midpoint scenery is better viewed from the left side as the aircraft tracks northwest.
