Search flights from BUD to BRI
Lake Balaton
Known as the 'Hungarian Sea', this massive turquoise lake is clearly visible approximately 15 minutes after departure.
Dalmatian Archipelago
A stunning sequence of islands including Pag, Hvar, and Brač, set against the deep blue of the Adriatic.
Split and Zadar
The historic coastal cities of Croatia can be seen nestled between the mountains and the sea.
Gargano Peninsula
The 'spur' of the Italian boot, featuring the lush Foresta Umbra and dramatic white limestone cliffs.
Apulian Coastline
The final approach follows the sandy beaches and rocky coves of the Adriatic coast north of Bari.
Sit on the right side for the most iconic views of this route. For morning flights, the sun will be behind you, perfectly illuminating the Croatian islands. Ensure you look out early in the flight to catch the full length of Lake Balaton.

Danube River Bend
Watch the Danube flow south from Budapest, carving through the Hungarian landscape shortly after takeoff.
Great Hungarian Plain
Expansive views of the Puszta region with its unique agricultural patterns and rural settlements.
Bosnian Mountains
Rugged, forested peaks of the Dinaric Alps stretching across the interior of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Bari City Center
A close-up view of the historic 'Bari Vecchia' and the harbor during the final descent into the airport.
The left side is preferable for late afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun over the Adriatic. It provides a better view of the inland Balkan mountain ranges and the industrial outskirts of Bari upon landing.
