Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior panoramic view of the Northern Alps mountain range and major Alpine lakes which provide much more dramatic scenery than the northern plains.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Northern Alps

Breathtaking views of the Austrian and German Alpine peaks during the mid-flight segment.

🌊

Lake Balaton

Vivid views of Central Europe's largest freshwater lake shortly after departing Serbian airspace.

🏙️

Munich Skyline

Aerial perspective of the Bavarian capital including the Allianz Arena and Olympic Park.

💧

Lake Constance

The massive 'Bodensee' marking the tri-point border of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

🌲

Ardennes Forest

Rolling green hills and dense canopy cover as the flight enters Belgian territory.

Sit on the left for the best mountain photography. On morning flights, the sun is behind you, providing clear, high-contrast views of the Alps. Keep your camera ready about 30-40 minutes after takeoff for Lake Balaton.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🛶

Danube River

Follow the winding path of the Danube as it cuts through the Hungarian and Austrian landscapes.

Vienna

A glimpse of the historic Austrian capital's grand layout and urban center.
