BUD → BRS
Which side of the plane to sit from Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (Budapest) to Bristol Airport (Bristol)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a stunning vantage point for the northern fringes of the Alps and the picturesque crossing of the English Channel with potential views of the southern UK coastline.
Budapest & Danube
Dramatic views of the Parliament building and the winding Danube river shortly after takeoff from BUD.
Austrian & Bavarian Alps
Breathtaking views of the snow-capped peaks of the Northern Limestone Alps stretching along the southern horizon.
Southern Germany
Fly over the rolling hills and dense forests of the Bavarian countryside and the Black Forest region.
The English Channel
A clear view of the busy shipping lanes and the transition from continental Europe to the British Isles.
Kent Coastline
Look for the iconic White Cliffs and the green landscapes of the 'Garden of England' during the descent.
Choose the left side for the best mountain photography; morning flights provide the most favorable lighting as the sun is behind the aircraft. During the winter, the snow-covered Alps are particularly vibrant. Watch for the change in water color as you cross the Channel.
Bratislava & Slovakia
Early flight views of the Slovakian capital and the fertile plains of the Danube basin.
Frankfurt Skyline
A high-altitude view of Germany's financial center and one of Europe's busiest aviation hubs.
Brussels & Benelux
The dense urban tapestry and intricate motorway networks of Belgium and the Netherlands.
Thames Estuary
Views of the industrial and coastal landscapes where the River Thames meets the North Sea.
The Cotswolds
Rolling limestone hills and quintessential English countryside as the plane prepares for landing in Bristol.
The right side is excellent for spotting major European cities. On the final approach to Bristol (BRS), this side often provides a superior view of the Severn Estuary and the bridges connecting England to Wales, especially if the aircraft approaches from the north.
