BUD → EIN
Which side of the plane to sit from Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (Budapest) to Eindhoven Airport (Eindhoven)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for viewing the majestic Northern Alps chain and the scenic landscapes of Southern Germany and the Rhine Valley.
Budapest & Buda Hills
Immediate views of the Gellért Hill, the Royal Palace, and the winding Danube as the plane climbs westward.
Northern Alpine Ridge
A stunning horizon of snow-capped Austrian peaks visible to the south during the mid-flight cruise.
Munich Metropolitan Area
The sprawling Bavarian capital and the iconic white canopy of the Allianz Arena are often visible from high altitude.
The Black Forest
Dense, dark green woodland stretches across the horizon as you cross into southwestern Germany.
Middle Rhine Valley
A spectacular view of the Rhine River winding through steep valleys, dotted with historic castles and vineyards.
Sit on the left for the best mountain views, but be aware that because you are facing south, the sun may cause significant glare during midday flights. For the best photography of the Alps, choose an early morning or late afternoon flight when the shadows define the mountain ridges. Ensure you are seated away from the wing for an unobstructed view of the Rhine crossing near the end of the cruise phase.
Danube Bend
A dramatic 90-degree turn in the river north of Budapest, framed by the Börzsöny and Pilis Mountains.
Vienna Skyline
Clear views of the Austrian capital and the surrounding Wienerwald forest shortly after departure.
Bavarian Forest
Vast stretches of protected wilderness along the border between Germany and the Czech Republic.
Ruhr Valley Industrial Hub
The dense urban and industrial landscape of western Germany becomes visible as you approach the Dutch border.
Dutch Polder Landscape
A bird's-eye view of the perfectly geometric fields, canals, and windmills characteristic of the Netherlands during descent.
The right side is ideal for daytime photography because it faces north, away from the sun, providing consistent lighting without window glare. It offers a great view of the Danube's northern curves early in the flight. Watch for the transition from the rolling hills of Germany to the incredibly flat, canal-crossed terrain of the Netherlands as the aircraft begins its final descent into Eindhoven.
