Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side is the superior choice for this trans-European route, offering a consistent panoramic view of the Northern Alps and the most dramatic approach into the heart of Transylvania.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

The Alps Panorama

A breathtaking, long-distance view of the snow-capped Swiss and Austrian Alps visible for a significant portion of the flight.

💧

Lake Constance

The massive expanse of 'Bodensee' which serves as a tri-point border for Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.

🥨

Munich & Upper Bavaria

The distinct red roofs of Munich and the iconic Allianz Arena can often be spotted in clear conditions.

🏞️

Salzkammergut Lakes

Deep blue alpine lakes like Chiemsee and the surrounding Austrian peaks near the Salzburg border.

🏰

Transylvanian Wilderness

The rugged, legendary landscape of central Romania, featuring deep valleys and the jagged Apuseni Mountains.

The Right Side is essential for mountain lovers. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you or directly above, illuminating the Alps perfectly. Be aware that the right side can experience intense glare in the afternoon; use the window shade if the sun is low on the horizon.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🇫🇷

Picardy Countryside

Lush green agricultural fields and small villages of northern France immediately after departing Beauvais.

🏙️

Rhine-Main Region

The dense urban landscapes and industrial hubs around Frankfurt as you cross into German airspace.

🏰

Vienna & Bratislava

A rare view of two European capitals situated close to each other along the silver thread of the Danube River.

🇸🇰

Little Carpathians

The rolling, forested hills of western Slovakia that mark the beginning of the Carpathian range.

🏘️

Cluj-Napoca Cityscape

A detailed look at the urban sprawl and historic center of Cluj during the final descent from the north.

The left side offers softer lighting for photography during midday flights. It is the best side for spotting the twin capitals of Vienna and Bratislava. During the descent, keep an eye out for the Somes River winding through the valley toward the airport.
