About This Route

Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Miami International (MIA) to Okecie (WAW)?

Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Miami to Warsaw.

While the landing into Warsaw favors the left side, the extended scenic value of the Miami departure—with clear water features, barrier islands, and coastal geography—outweighs the landing advantage. The transatlantic crossing itself offers limited scenic value from either side until approaching European airspace.
