Öresund Bridge
The massive bridge-tunnel system connecting Denmark and Sweden is clearly visible after departure.
Rügen Island
Vibrant views of Germany's largest island and its distinctive chalk cliffs over the Baltic Sea.
High Tatras
Dramatic views of the jagged granite peaks marking the border between Slovakia and Poland.
Carpathian Arc
The flight crosses the scenic Făgăraș and Bucegi mountains during the descent into Romania.
Bucharest Outskirts
A clear view of the sprawling northern suburbs and the massive Palace of the Parliament upon approach.
Book a window seat ahead of the wing for the best mountain photography. For morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent illumination of the Tatras and Carpathian ridges. Watch for the dramatic change from the flat Hungarian plains to the sudden rise of the Transylvanian Alps.

Copenhagen Skyline
Excellent views of the Danish capital's historic center and Amager's green spaces shortly after takeoff.
Dresden & Elbe
The historic German city and its winding river valley are often visible through the central corridor.
Prague Horizon
The 'City of a Hundred Spires' can often be spotted in the distance while cruising over the Czech Republic.
Hungarian Puszta
Vast, golden agricultural landscapes and the winding Tisza River highlight the Central European plains.
Apuseni Mountains
Western Romanian mountain ranges offering lush green plateaus and deep karst valleys.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare. While the mountain views are less dramatic than the left, this side offers a better perspective of the vast Central European lowlands. Keep an eye out for the thermal power plants and industrial landmarks near the Danube as you enter Romanian airspace.
