Search flights from CRL to CLJ
The Ardennes
Rolling hills and dense forests of southern Belgium visible immediately after takeoff from Charleroi.
The Alps
Stunning vistas of the snow-capped Bavarian and Austrian Alps visible on the southern horizon.
Lake Chiemsee
The 'Bavarian Sea' appears as a massive blue gem nestled near the Austrian border.
Vienna & Danube
Aerial view of the Austrian capital and the majestic curves of the Danube River.
Apuseni Mountains
Rugged karst landscapes and deep valleys of the Western Carpathians as you enter Romanian airspace.
The right side is the definitive choice for mountain lovers; on clear days, the Alpine range creates a jagged, white horizon to the south. For morning flights, be aware of direct sun glare. Watch specifically for the Danube River, which will weave in and out of view between Vienna and Budapest, providing excellent photographic opportunities.

Rhine River
Glittering views of the Rhine as the flight crosses from Belgium into Germany.
Frankfurt Skyline
Distant but visible cluster of skyscrapers, known as Mainhattan, to the north.
Bohemian Forest
The deep green canopy of the border region between Germany and the Czech Republic.
Pannonian Basin
The vast, flat agricultural patchwork of the Hungarian plains stretching toward the horizon.
Cluj Cityscape
A close-up view of the historic architecture and red-roofed houses of Cluj-Napoca during descent.
Sit on the left if you prefer soft, indirect lighting during mid-day flights. It offers better views of the Northern Carpathians and the rolling hills of the Transylvanian plateau during the final approach. This side is also better for spotting the lights of Prague and northern cities on clear night flights.
