Left side wins both takeoff and landing. During the cruise phase heading northeast, the left side also faces generally northwest toward the Sudeten Mountains on the distant horizon as you cross into Czech and Polish territory, offering more geographic interest than the right side's open plains.
Flight Path
The flight crosses the Czech Republic, passing over the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands and then the Sudeten mountain range (Sudety) along the Czech-Polish border — visible as a low ridge on the horizon. The route then descends over the flat Silesian lowlands and the Upper Silesian industrial region before reaching Wroclaw.
