BOJBRU

Which side of the plane to sit from Burgas Airport (Bourgas) to Brussels Airport (Brussels)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Black Sea coastline during takeoff, followed by the dramatic Southern Carpathian Mountains and the urban layouts of Budapest and Vienna.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Black Sea Coastline

Immediate views of the Bourgas Bay and the Bulgarian Riviera upon takeoff.

🏔️

Southern Carpathians

The massive, snow-capped peaks of the Transylvanian Alps in Romania, often visible in clear weather.

🏰

Budapest

A clear view of the Hungarian Parliament and the historic bridges crossing the Danube.

🎡

Vienna Cityscape

The sprawl of the Austrian capital and the green expanse of the Prater park along the river.

🛥️

Meuse River

The winding curves of the Meuse river valley near Liege during the final approach phase.

The right side is the 'landmark side' for this route. For the best views of Budapest and Vienna, ensure you have a window seat not obstructed by the wing. Evening flights on this side offer beautiful sunsets over the wing as you head northwest.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
⛰️

Balkan Mountains

The rugged ridge of the Stara Planina range visible shortly after departing the Bulgarian coast.

🏙️

Belgrade Confluence

Aerial perspective of the Sava river meeting the Danube in the heart of the Serbian capital.

🌲

Ardennes Forest

Dense, rolling green hills of the Ardennes region as the flight enters Belgian airspace.

🛤️

Lower Rhine Valley

The industrial and agricultural patchwork of western Germany as the aircraft nears the border.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the southern sun. This side is also excellent for viewing the Balkan interior and the later stages of the descent into Brussels over the Belgian countryside.
