BUD → EMA
Which side of the plane to sit from Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (Budapest) to East Midlands Airport (East Midlands)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers a superior panorama of Budapest immediately after takeoff and excellent views of the North Sea coastline and the Rhine river system.
Budapest Panorama
Exceptional views of the Hungarian Parliament and the historic Buda Castle during the ascent.
Rhine Valley
The winding Rhine River and the intensive vineyard landscapes of western Germany.
Rotterdam Port
Incredible views of one of the world's largest shipping hubs and the complex Dutch canal systems.
Norfolk Coastline
Scenic entry into UK airspace featuring sandy beaches and coastal holiday towns like Cromer.
The Right Side is ideal for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. Watch closely within the first 5 minutes for a full city view of Budapest. Look for massive offshore wind farms in the North Sea just before reaching England.
Danube Bend
Shorty after takeoff, witness the dramatic curve of the Danube river through the Hungarian hills.
Frankfurt Skyline
Clear views of the 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers as the flight traverses central Germany.
Brussels & Antwerp
Aerial perspective of the Belgian capital and the sprawling industrial docks of Antwerp.
The Wash
The distinct square-shaped estuary on the English coast providing a unique geographic landmark.
Choose this side for late afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight. On very clear days, you may catch a glimpse of the snowy Alps far to the south while over Germany.
