Ardennes Forest
The lush, hilly terrain and dense forests of southeastern Belgium and Luxembourg shortly after takeoff.
Alpine Panorama
On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the northern Austrian Alps are visible on the southern horizon.
Lake Balaton
The elongated turquoise waters of Central Europe's largest lake, located in western Hungary.
Transylvanian Alps
Dramatic views while flying directly over the high peaks of the Fagaras and Retezat mountain ranges in Romania.
Balkan Mountains
The Stara Planina ridge running through central Bulgaria, marking the final stage of the mountain crossing.
The right side is ideal for mountain lovers. You will pass directly over the most rugged parts of the Carpathians. On morning flights, keep your window shade partially closed to avoid the direct sun, as the route faces southeast. This side is particularly spectacular during autumn when the forests of the Ardennes and the Balkan mountains change color.
Book Hotels in Bourgas
Brussels & Leuven
Direct views of the Belgian capital's dense urban layout and the historic university city of Leuven during the initial climb.
Rhine-Main Region
Sightings of the Rhine River winding through Germany and the expansive airport hub of Frankfurt.
The Danube
Excellent views of the Danube River as it flows between Vienna and Bratislava near the Austria-Slovakia border.
Western Carpathians
The northern ridges of the Carpathian range visible while transitioning from Hungary into Romania.
Black Sea Coast
A beautiful view of the coastline and the northern shores of the Gulf of Burgas during the final descent.
Choose this side for views of major European cities and the Danube. For morning flights, you will enjoy soft lighting, but for late afternoon flights, you may experience significant glare as the sun moves toward the west. During the final approach into Burgas, look out for the Atanasovsko Lake, which can appear pink due to its high salinity.
