BUD → HHN
Which side of the plane to sit from Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (Budapest) to Frankfurt-Hahn Airport (Hahn)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a spectacular panoramic view of the Northern Limestone Alps, the glistening lakes of the Salzkammergut region, and the dense forests of the Hunsrück mountains.
Lake Balaton
Shortly after takeoff, view the largest lake in Central Europe shimmering to the southwest.
Salzkammergut Lakes
Crystal clear alpine lakes like Attersee and Traunsee nestled against the Austrian Alps.
Munich Panorama
On clear days, see the Bavarian capital and the iconic Allianz Arena in the distance.
Bavarian Forest
Expansive views of the dark, rolling hills of the largest protected forest area in Central Europe.
Moselle Valley
During the descent, witness the dramatic, steep-terraced vineyards lining the winding Moselle River.
Choose this side for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset glow hitting the Alpine peaks. Ensure you have a window seat behind the wing to avoid engine glare while photographing the mountain ranges.
Budapest Skyline
A stunning aerial perspective of the Parliament building and the Danube bridges immediately after departure.
Vienna Outskirts
The flight path often passes just north of the Austrian capital, offering views of the city and the Vienna Woods.
The Danube Bend
Witness the majestic curve of the Danube as it carves through the mountains north of Budapest.
Frankfurt Skyline
On the final approach, the high-rise towers of Germany's financial hub are often visible in the distance.
Middle Rhine Valley
Look for the UNESCO World Heritage site featuring medieval castles and the famous Lorelei rock.
The right side is ideal for morning flights as the sun remains on the opposite side of the aircraft. Keep a map app open to identify the numerous castles perched along the Rhine as you begin your descent into Hahn.
