Budapest Parliament
Catch a glimpse of the iconic neo-Gothic Parliament building and the Chain Bridge shortly after rotation.
High Tatras
On clear days, the jagged peaks of Slovakia's highest mountains are visible to the northeast.
Dresden Skyline
The historic 'Florence on the Elbe' is often visible on the path between Prague and Berlin.
Spreewald Biosphere
A unique landscape of hundreds of small waterways and lush greenery south of Berlin.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to enjoy the illuminated landscapes of Eastern Europe. For the best views of Budapest, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed downward view during the initial climb. Keep an eye out for the distinctive grid-like canals of the Spreewald roughly 15-20 minutes before landing.

Danube Bend
A dramatic horseshoe curve in the river north of Budapest near Visegrád.
Ore Mountains
The Erzgebirge range forms a natural forested border between Czechia and Germany.
Potsdam Palaces
View the Sanssouci Park and numerous historic lakes just southwest of Berlin during the descent.
Berlin Lakes
The Wannsee and Havel river systems are visible as the aircraft aligns for its final approach.
Sit on the left for better views of the 'Slovakian Sea' (Lake Liptov) in the distance and the palaces of Potsdam upon arrival. Avoid this side during late afternoon flights to minimize sun glare as the plane travels northwest.
