Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic northern ridge of the Alps and the scenic lakes of the Austrian Salzkammergut region.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌲

The Ardennes

Deep green forested ridges and narrow river valleys of southern Belgium and northern Luxembourg.

πŸ”οΈ

Northern Limestone Alps

A stunning panoramic view of the snow-capped Austrian peaks stretching across the southern horizon.

πŸ’§

Lake Traunsee

The deep blue waters of the Austrian Lake District tucked between steep mountain slopes.

🌊

The Danube Bend

The dramatic, scenic curve of the Danube River at VisegrΓ‘d just before entering Budapest.

πŸ›οΈ

Buda Castle Hill

A spectacular view of the historic Royal Palace and Matthias Church during the final approach.

This is the best side for mountain enthusiasts. For the best photography of the Alps, book a morning flight to avoid the midday sun glare. Keep your camera ready about 50-60 minutes into the flight as the plane clears the clouds over southern Germany and the Alpine peaks emerge.

Left Side Highlights
6.7
🏰

Luxembourg City

Bird's-eye view of the historic Alzette river valley and the modern European district shortly after departure.

🚜

Bavarian Plains

Vast expanses of neatly organized German farmland and the winding Main-Danube Canal.

🎑

Vienna Metropolitan Area

The sprawling Austrian capital and the wide expanse of the Danube River crossing through the city.

πŸ‡­πŸ‡Ί

Hungarian Lowlands

The flat, fertile landscapes of the Pannonian Basin as the aircraft prepares for its final descent.

Sit on the left if you prefer urban landscapes; you will often see the outskirts of Munich and the full layout of Vienna. In the evening, the city lights of these major hubs provide a beautiful contrast against the dark Central European plains.
