Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a consistent sequence of geographic landmarks, including the Spanish Mediterranean coast, the high peaks of the Sierra Nevada, the French Riviera, and a prime view of Lake Balaton on arrival.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Costa del Sol

Breathtaking aerial views of Malaga's beaches and the sparkling Mediterranean shoreline immediately after takeoff.

🏔️

Sierra Nevada

A spectacular look at the Mulhacen peak and the snow-dusted ranges of Southern Spain shortly after departure.

🏙️

Barcelona & Costa Brava

Panoramic views of the Catalan coastline and the distinctive urban grid of Barcelona if the flight path follows the shore.

⛰️

The French & Italian Alps

Dramatic views of the jagged, glacier-carved peaks of the Southern Alps during the mid-flight cruise phase.

💧

Lake Balaton

A massive turquoise expanse known as the 'Hungarian Sea' is clearly visible on the left side during the descent into Budapest.

Secure a window seat on the left (Seat A) for the best morning light on the mountains. During the final 20 minutes of flight, keep your camera ready for Lake Balaton. In winter, the contrast between the Mediterranean coast and the snow-capped Alps is particularly striking.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏝️

Balearic Islands

Excellent overhead views of Ibiza and Mallorca's rugged northern coastlines as you cross the Mediterranean.

🚢

Corsica & Sardinia

Distant but clear silhouettes of these major Mediterranean islands emerging from the deep blue sea.

🛶

Venetian Lagoon

On clear days with a southerly route, the unique 'fish' shape of Venice and its surrounding islands are visible.

🏞️

Julian Alps

The sharp limestone ridges of Slovenia provide a rugged and textured landscape as you transition into Eastern Europe.

🏰

Danube River

The winding path of the Danube River becomes a central feature as the aircraft maneuvers for the final approach to BUD.

Seats on the right side (Seat F) are perfect for late afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the Adriatic Sea. This side provides better views of the Mediterranean islands early in the journey. Check the weather over the Alps, as the right side often gets a broader view of the Italian plains leading up to the mountains.
