Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Warsaw to New York. Left side wins both ends of the flight. Over the Atlantic the views are similar on both sides, but the left seat delivers Warsaw's city center on departure and Manhattan plus Jamaica Bay on arrival, making it the clear choice for the full journey.

During takeoff from Okecie (WAW), sit on the Left side for the best views. Warsaw's main departure runway 29 sends aircraft northwest, putting the left (south) side over central Warsaw including the Old Town, Vistula River, and the Palace of Culture and Science. The right side faces open suburban sprawl with little of interest. Notable sights include: Vistula River bend through central Warsaw, Palace of Culture and Science, Warsaw Old Town district, Łazienki Park.

When landing at John F Kennedy International (JFK), sit on the Left side for the best views. JFK typically uses runway 31L/31R for westerly arrivals, with the approach coming from the east over the Atlantic. Left side seats face south and get the clearest view of Lower Manhattan's skyline, the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, and Jamaica Bay as the aircraft descends over Long Island. Notable sights include: Lower Manhattan skyline, Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, Jamaica Bay, Coney Island barrier beach.

The flight from Okecie (WAW) to John F Kennedy International (JFK) takes Approximately 9 to 10 hours.

The route tracks northwest from Warsaw over the Baltic Sea near Gdańsk, then across southern Scandinavia or Denmark, over the North Sea, clipping the southern tip of Greenland or passing near Iceland depending on the jet stream routing, then across the Labrador Sea and Newfoundland, before descending over Nova Scotia, the Gulf of Maine, and Long Island Sound into JFK. The Greenland ice sheet and its coastal fjords are the most dramatic visual feature at cruise altitude if the polar routing is used.
