Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic peaks of the Dolomites and the Austrian Alps shortly after takeoff, followed by distant views of the High Tatras before the descent into Lviv.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

The Dolomites

Breathtaking views of the jagged limestone peaks of the Italian Alps immediately after departing Bergamo.

💧

Lake Garda

The narrow northern tip of Italy's largest lake, framed by steep mountains, is visible shortly after takeoff.

❄️

Hohe Tauern

The snow-capped peaks of the High Tauern range in Austria, including Grossglockner, appear as the flight tracks northeast.

🏰

Bratislava & Vienna

On clear days, the urban clusters of the twin capitals can be spotted along the Danube River to the north.

⛰️

High Tatras

The dramatic, rocky ridge of the Tatra Mountains marking the border between Slovakia and Poland.

Sit on the left for the best mountain photography. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind the plane, illuminating the Alps perfectly. Keep your camera ready for the first 20 minutes and again about an hour into the flight for the Tatras. In winter, the snow-covered peaks provide exceptional contrast.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌾

The Po Valley

Expansive views of the fertile Lombardy plains and the winding Po River system south of Bergamo.

🌊

Lake Balaton

The long, turquoise stretch of Central Europe's largest freshwater lake in western Hungary.

🏙️

Budapest Skyline

The Hungarian capital and the wide bend of the Danube River are often visible in the distance to the south.

🌲

The Carpathians

Dense, forested ridges of the Ukrainian Carpathians during the final approach into Lviv.

The right side is best for observing the vast Pannonian Basin and the dense forests of Western Ukraine. Avoid the right side on late afternoon flights to escape the direct glare of the sun. The final approach provides a great perspective of the rural landscape and traditional villages near Lviv.
