Which side of the plane to sit from Cluj-Napoca International Airport (Cluj-napoca) to Eindhoven Airport (Eindhoven)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers superior views of major European capitals and the diverse topography of the Northern Carpathians and German uplands.
Northern Carpathians
Rugged peaks along the Romanian and Slovakian border, often snow-capped in winter months.
Budapest & The Danube
A stunning aerial view of the Hungarian Parliament and the bridges spanning the Danube River about 40 minutes into the flight.
Prague Region
Views of the Vltava river valley and the historic sprawl of the Czech capital visible to the north.
Thuringian Forest
The deep green ridges of central Germany's highlands, offering a rich textural contrast to the surrounding plains.
Dutch Polders
The iconic geometric patterns of reclaimed Dutch land and drainage canals as you approach Eindhoven.
The right side is the 'landmark' side. Keep your eyes peeled roughly 35-45 minutes after departure from CLJ for the best view of Budapest. On clear days, the sunset during evening flights illuminates the clouds over the North Sea in the distance as you approach the Netherlands.
Apuseni Mountains
Dramatic karst landscapes and dense forests of the Western Romanian Carpathians immediately after takeoff.
Pannonian Basin
The vast, flat agricultural heartland of Hungary, creating a patchwork quilt of green and gold fields.
Frankfurt Skyline
The 'Mainhattan' skyscraper cluster and one of Europe's largest airports are frequently visible to the south.
The Rhine River
The silver thread of the Rhine winding through the industrial and vineyard-rich landscapes of Western Germany.
Maas River
The winding waterway that defines the border region between Belgium and the Netherlands during the final descent.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights. This side provides a better view of the industrial heart of Germany and the expansive flatlands of the southern Pannonian region. Look for the distinctive bend in the Rhine river as you cross into the Benelux region.
