BUD → TMP
Which side of the plane to sit from Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (Budapest) to Tampere-Pirkkala Airport (Tampere)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic High Tatra mountains early in the flight and a better perspective of the scenic Baltic coastlines and the vast lake districts of Poland and Finland.
High Tatra Mountains
Stunning views of the rugged, snow-capped peaks on the border of Slovakia and Poland.
Kraków & Vistula
The historic layout of Kraków and the winding path of Poland's longest river as you head north.
Warsaw Skyline
The dense cluster of skyscrapers and the National Stadium of the Polish capital from a high cruise altitude.
Masurian Lake District
A spectacular mosaic of thousands of lakes and dense forests in northeastern Poland.
Helsinki Metropolitan Area
On clear days, the capital city and the Gulf of Finland are visible to the east during the descent into Pirkkala.
The right side is the 'mountain side' for the first third of the journey. For the best views of the Tatras, ensure your flight is in the morning when the sun illuminates the southern faces. Keep your camera ready about 20-30 minutes after takeoff from BUD for the most dramatic alpine scenery.
Budapest & Danube Bend
Aerial view of the Hungarian capital and the iconic curve of the Danube River shortly after departure.
Bay of Gdańsk
The coastal sweep of the Polish shoreline and the Hel Peninsula protruding into the Baltic Sea.
Open Baltic Sea
Expansive views of maritime traffic and the deep blue waters separating Central Europe from Scandinavia.
Finnish Archipelago
Thousands of tiny forested islands and rocky outcrops as the plane approaches the Finnish mainland.
Sit on the left if you are flying in the late afternoon to avoid the direct glare of the setting sun. This side is particularly rewarding during the final 20 minutes of the flight when crossing the fractured coastline near Turku, offering a clear view of the unique 'skerry' islands.
