Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Los Angeles to Warsaw. While the takeoff offers dramatic mountain views, the landing approach into Warsaw provides more sustained scenic interest across the entire descent phase. The Vistula River valley and approach to the city are visually distinctive and occupy a longer viewing window than the brief LA climb-out.

During takeoff from Los Angeles International (LAX), sit on the Left side for the best views.

Over the Atlantic, you'll cross the Grand Banks region off Newfoundland (around 6 hours out). Crossing into European airspace, you'll pass over the British Isles and North Sea—the UK coastline and Scottish Highlands are sometimes visible on clear days. Over continental Europe, the descent path typically follows the Rhine valley or approaches from the northwest, offering views of the German plains and Polish lowlands in the final 90 minutes. The Carpathian Mountains may be visible to the south on clear days during the approach phase.
