Which side of the plane to sit from Barcelona International Airport (Barcelona) to Timişoara Traian Vuia Airport (Timisoara)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers unparalleled views of the European Alpine chain, including the high peaks of the French and Italian Alps, the jagged Dolomites, and the turquoise expanse of Lake Balaton.
Costa Brava
The rugged coastline of northeastern Spain with its hidden coves and turquoise Mediterranean waters.
French & Italian Alps
Dramatic views of the snow-capped Alpine peaks as the flight traverses Northern Italy.
Dolomite Mountains
The unique limestone formations and jagged peaks of the Italian Dolomites visible shortly after passing Milan.
Julian Alps
The green, forested peaks and deep valleys of Slovenia near the city of Ljubljana.
Lake Balaton
Central Europe's largest lake, easily recognizable by its elongated shape and distinct milky-green color.
Sit on the left for the best mountain photography; the sunlight usually hits the peaks beautifully on morning flights. The transition from the coast to the high mountains happens roughly 45-60 minutes after takeoff. Ensure you are forward of the wing to capture the full scale of the Dolomites without engine obstruction.
Gulf of Genoa
The sweeping curve of the Italian Riviera and the busy maritime activity around the port of Genoa.
Po Valley Cities
A bird's-eye view of the dense urban grids and historical layouts of Milan, Brescia, and Verona.
Venetian Lagoon
On clear days, the distant glisten of the Adriatic Sea and the marshy islands surrounding Venice.
Pannonian Basin
The vast, flat agricultural heartland of Hungary and Serbia, displaying complex geometric field patterns.
The Danube
The winding path of Europe's second-longest river as it approaches the Romanian border.
The right side is ideal for catching the sunset over the Mediterranean and the Italian plains during evening flights. It offers a broader view of the Mediterranean coastline early in the trip. Keep an eye out for the distinct grid patterns of the Banat region in the final 15 minutes before landing in Timişoara.
