BTSBVA

Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers spectacular distant panoramas of the Northern Alps and better views of major cities like Munich and the Champagne wine region during the transit across Europe.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏰

Bratislava & Danube

Aerial view of Bratislava Castle and the Danube river immediately after takeoff from BTS.

🏔️

Northern Alps

Extended views of the snow-capped Austrian and Bavarian Alps visible on the southern horizon.

🏟️

Munich Landmark

Clear views of the Allianz Arena and the urban sprawl of the Bavarian capital.

🍇

Champagne Region

The meticulously organized vineyard landscapes near Reims and Épernay in eastern France.

🗼

Paris Skyline

On the descent into BVA, the Eiffel Tower and La Défense are often visible in the distance to the south.

Sit on the left for the best mountain views. For morning flights, this side avoids the harshest sun glare. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes after takeoff for the best Alpine panoramas. If the flight arrives at dusk, the lights of Paris will glow on the southern horizon.

Right Side Highlights
6.5
⛰️

Little Carpathians

The forested mountain range extending north from Bratislava visible during the initial climb.

💧

Danube Bends

The winding path of the Danube river through Upper Austria and Southern Germany.

⛪

Regensburg

The historic medieval center of Regensburg and its cathedral spires near the northernmost point of the Danube.

🌲

Palatinate Forest

Dense green canopies of the large forest parks near the German-French border.

🚜

Picardy Plains

The geometric patchwork of colorful agricultural fields typical of the Hauts-de-France region.

The right side is ideal for observing the river systems of Central Europe. In the afternoon, the lighting on this side is softer as the sun is in the south. It is also the better side for viewing the rural landscape of Picardy during the final approach into Beauvais.
