Poznan to Warsaw flight path: POZ to WAW

Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Poznan to Warsaw. Right-side seats offer better views during both takeoff (Poznan's river and city) and provide good perspective on the approach to Warsaw. The eastward flight path favors right-side viewing for the majority of the journey across the Masovian Plain.

During takeoff from Lawica (POZ), sit on the Right side for the best views. Poznan's city center and the Warta River bend are positioned southeast of the runway. Right-side seats capture the urban sprawl and river meanders as the aircraft climbs eastward toward Warsaw. Notable sights include: Poznan city center with its distinctive Old Town square, Warta River with visible oxbow bends, Lake Malta (artificial reservoir south of city), flat agricultural plains extending toward the horizon.

When landing at Okecie (WAW), sit on the Left side for the best views. Warsaw's approach from the west brings the Vistula River and city center into view on the left side. The river's distinctive curves through the city and the urban density of central Warsaw are best framed from left-side seats during descent. Notable sights include: Vistula River with its major bends through Warsaw, Warsaw city center and Old Town district, Masovian plain extending westward, suburban sprawl and approach corridors.

The flight from Lawica (POZ) to Okecie (WAW) takes about 50 minutes. The shortest flight path between them is 176 miles (283 km); winds and air traffic control usually add a few percent.

Flat agricultural Masovian Plain with scattered villages and towns, Bzura River valley (tributary of Vistula), occasional lakes and ponds typical of glacial terrain, minimal elevation changes throughout the route
