BLL β BUD
Which side of the plane to sit from Billund Airport (Billund) to Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (Budapest)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the historic city of Prague mid-flight and the dramatic Danube Bend just before landing in Budapest.
Jutland Countryside
View the agricultural patterns and coastal proximity of Denmark shortly after takeoff from Billund.
Berlin Vistas
Glimpse the outskirts and urban sprawl of the German capital situated to the east of the flight path.
Historic Prague
A prime view of the Vltava river and the medieval architecture of the Czech capital as you cross into Central Europe.
Little Carpathians
The forested mountain range extending from Bratislava into the Slovak interior visible during the cruise phase.
Danube Bend
The spectacular U-turn of the Danube river at VisegrΓ‘d as the flight begins its final approach into Hungary.
Hungarian Parliament
The magnificent Gothic Revival building on the Pest bank visible during the final descent into BUD.
Choosing the left side is highly recommended for capturing the iconic curve of the Danube Bend. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent lighting for photos of Prague's spires and the Hungarian Parliament. Watch for the sharp transition from the mountainous Slovak border to the flat Hungarian plains about 20 minutes before landing.
Elbe River Valley
Follow the winding path of the Elbe as it cuts through the Saxon landscape of Eastern Germany.
Ore Mountains
The rugged border mountains known for their mining history and scenic ridges between Germany and Czechia.
Moravian Wine Region
Neat rows of vineyards and rolling hills in the southern Czech Republic near Brno.
Vienna Basin
The distant skyline of Vienna and the shimmering Lake Neusiedl on the southwestern horizon.
Buda Castle District
The historic castle and hilly Buda side of the capital visible if the plane circles for landing.
The right side offers a great perspective of the transition from German forests to the agricultural heartland of Moravia. During late afternoon flights, the sunset over the distant Alps to the southwest can be breathtaking. Keep an eye out for the shimmering surface of Lake Neusiedl on the border of Austria and Hungary roughly 15 minutes before arrival.
