Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Zurich to Gdansk. The left side delivers the best views at both ends of the flight — Lake Zurich and the Alps on departure, and Gdansk Bay with the Baltic coast on arrival. Through the cruise phase the left side also faces generally north-northwest over the German and Polish lowlands, offering cleaner sightlines to any river systems and cities below.

During takeoff from Zurich (ZRH), sit on the Left side for the best views. Zurich typically departs on runway 16 heading southeast or runway 28 heading west. On a northeast-bound flight to Gdansk, the aircraft will turn left (north/northeast) after takeoff, putting the left side over Lake Zurich and the city center. The left side gets the classic view of the Zurichsee stretching southeast and the urban core of Zurich. Notable sights include: Lake Zurich (Zürichsee) stretching southeast, Zurich city center and the Limmat river corridor, the Glarus Alps visible to the southeast on the horizon, Lake Greifen (Greifensee) to the east.

When landing at Rebiechowo (GDN), sit on the Left side for the best views. Gdansk airport typically uses runway 29 (landing westward) or runway 11 (landing eastward). Approaching from the southwest, aircraft on final for runway 11 or circling for 29 will give the left side views over the Gdansk Bay (Zatoka Gdańska), the Motława river delta, and the historic Old Town. The left side consistently faces the coast and city on approach. Notable sights include: Gdansk Bay (Zatoka Gdańska) and the Baltic Sea coastline, the Motława river and Gdansk Old Town, the Vistula river delta spreading across the lowlands to the south, the Sopot and Gdynia coastal strip to the north.

The flight from Zurich (ZRH) to Rebiechowo (GDN) takes Approximately 2 hours 10 minutes.

The route crosses southern Germany over Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria, passing near Munich to the east, then tracks northeast over the Czech Republic crossing the Bohemian lowlands, enters Poland over Silesia near Wrocław, and follows the North European Plain across central Poland before descending toward the Baltic coast at Gdansk. The Oder and Vistula river systems are the most visually distinctive features in the cruise phase.
