Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular vantage point of the Alps' northern chain, the Black Forest, and the turquoise waters of Lake Balaton as you approach Romania.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

The Alps

The northern slopes of the European Alps are visible on the horizon for a large portion of the mid-flight.

🌲

The Black Forest

A dense, dark green expanse of wooded mountains and rolling valleys in southwestern Germany.

💧

Lake Constance

The massive blue expanse where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria converge, often visible under the wing.

🏰

Salzburg Lakes

Glimpses of the glacial lakes and jagged peaks of the Austrian Salzkammergut mountain range.

🌊

Lake Balaton

Central Europe's largest lake, a long and narrow turquoise landmark clearly visible from cruise altitude.

Sit on the right for the most dramatic terrain. Mid-flight provides the best views of the Alps to the south; aim for an afternoon flight to see the sun illuminating the peaks from the west. Ensure your window is clear of wing obstruction for the best view of Lake Constance. Watch for the sharp contrast as the Austrian mountains transition into the flat Hungarian plains.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🍷

Champagne Vineyards

Vast geometric patterns of world-class vineyards in the Grand Est region of France.

🚢

The Rhine Valley

Aerial views of one of Europe's most significant and busy industrial waterways as it cuts through Germany.

🏙️

Munich Cityscape

The sprawling Bavarian capital, featuring the Allianz Arena and historic center to the south-east.

🚜

Pannonian Plain

The endless agricultural patchwork of the Hungarian lowlands during the cruise phase.

🇷🇴

Banat Region

The flat, fertile plains surrounding Timisoara during the final descent into Romania.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct southern sun glare while viewing the German and Hungarian plains. Keep an eye out for the Danube river which often meanders in and out of view to the north. Use a wide-angle lens for the vast agricultural landscapes of Central Europe.
