Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side of the aircraft offers a more consistent and dramatic landscape, featuring the expansive Lake Balaton and an extensive stretch of the snow-capped Austrian and Swiss Alps.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Lake Balaton

Early in the flight, view the 'Hungarian Sea,' central Europe's largest lake, known for its distinct turquoise color.

🏔️

Austrian Alps

Fly parallel to the majestic High Tauern range and the jagged peaks of the Northern Limestone Alps.

💧

Lake Constance

Pass over the southern edge of Bodensee, where the borders of Austria, Germany, and Switzerland converge.

🍇

Burgundy Vineyards

Observe the geometric patterns of the world-famous wine regions as you cross into eastern France.

🏰

Loire Valley Chateaus

Near the descent, spot historic estates nestled among the winding tributaries south of Paris.

For the best photographic lighting on the Alps, choose a morning flight when the sun is to the southeast. Sit behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed downward view of the mountain ridges. Lake Balaton appears within the first 15-20 minutes of departure.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏛️

Budapest Skyline

Immediately after takeoff, enjoy a stunning panorama of the Danube River and the Hungarian Parliament building.

🥨

Vienna Cityscape

The Austrian capital is often visible to the north, characterized by its dense urban grid and the Donauturm.

🌲

The Black Forest

Glimpse the dark, dense evergreen canopy of the Schwarzwald in southwestern Germany.

🗼

Paris City Center

Depending on the landing pattern at Orly, the Eiffel Tower and Sacré-Cœur are often visible on the right during the final approach.

🌳

Fontainebleau Forest

A massive, ancient royal hunting forest that marks the final stage of the approach into Orly.

The right side is the best choice for city enthusiasts. If the wind is coming from the west, the approach into Orly often loops north of the city, providing a prime view of central Paris. Keep your camera ready during the first 5 minutes and last 10 minutes of the flight.
