Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side (South) is superior for this route as it offers a front-row seat to the majestic snow-capped peaks of the Austrian Alps and the shimmering lakes of the Salzkammergut region.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
πŸ”οΈ

Alpine Ridge

Breathtaking, sustained views of the Swiss and Austrian Alps stretching toward the horizon.

🏰

Salzburg Fortress

The historic city of Salzburg and the Hohensalzburg Fortress nestled against the mountains.

πŸ’§

Alpine Lakes

The deep blue waters of Attersee, Traunsee, and Wolfgangsee in the Salzkammergut region.

⛰️

Transdanubian Mountains

The rolling Bakony and VΓ©rtes hills that signal the approach into central Hungary.

β›΅

Lake Balaton

The distant but distinct turquoise waters of Central Europe's largest freshwater lake.

The right side is unbeatable for mountain lovers. For afternoon flights, the sun will be behind the aircraft or on the left, providing the best lighting for the Alpine peaks. Look for the transition from the rugged Alps to the flat Pannonian Basin.

🏞️

Danube Bend

Watch the river weave through the hills of northern Hungary as you approach Budapest.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare, which is ideal for photographing the Danube and Vienna. This side typically offers a better view of the northern Hungarian hills during the descent.
