Stockholm Archipelago
Breathtaking views of thousands of small islands as you depart Arlanda and head south over the Baltic.
Baltic Coastline
Clear views of the Swedish coast near Kalmar and the expansive blue of the Baltic Sea.
High Tatra Mountains
The most dramatic part of the flight, featuring the jagged, snow-capped peaks on the border of Poland and Slovakia.
Visegrád & Danube Bend
The famous 'u-turn' of the Danube river surrounded by lush green hills just north of Budapest.
Budapest Parliament
On a standard approach to Runway 13R, the left side provides a stunning view of the Hungarian Parliament and the Pest side of the city.
Sit in front of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the Tatra mountain range. For evening flights, the left side benefits from the 'Alpine glow' on the mountains. If the plane lands from the north, this side is essential for seeing the city center's architecture.

Stockholm City
Depending on the departure runway, you can catch a glimpse of the 'Venice of the North' and the Royal Palace.
Lake Mälaren
Large freshwater lake system west of Stockholm visible during the initial climb phase.
Polish Lowlands
A patchwork of forests and agricultural fields stretching across central Europe.
Buda Hills
The greener, more elevated side of the Hungarian capital visible during the final descent.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare while looking out the window. It offers a great perspective of the rolling Buda hills and the Gellért Hill statue just before touchdown.
