DELBRU

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic Hindu Kush ranges, the southern expanses of the Black Sea, and a distant silhouette of the Alps.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Hindu Kush Mountains

Breathtaking views of the high-altitude peaks as the flight traverses Afghan airspace.

🌊

Caspian Sea South

Aerial perspective of the southern shores and the industrial architecture of the Absheron Peninsula.

🏖️

Black Sea Coastline

The deep blue waters transition into the rugged cliffs of the Bulgarian and Romanian coasts.

⛰️

Transylvanian Alps

The forested peaks of the Carpathian range provide a textured landscape across Eastern Europe.

⛷️

Alpine Panorama

On clear days, the northern fringes of the Austrian and Swiss Alps are visible on the horizon.

🏙️

Brussels Approach

Classic views of the Belgian capital's urban sprawl and the iconic Atomium structure.

For daytime flights, the sun remains to the south (left side), which can cause significant glare; use a window shade or polarizing filter for photography. Early afternoon departures from Delhi offer a spectacular sunset over the European continent during the final hours of the flight. Watch for the lights of Vienna or Munich if flying during winter months when days are shorter.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏔️

Pamir Mountains

Distant views of the massive mountain ranges of Tajikistan shortly after reaching cruising altitude.

🏜️

Kyzylkum Desert

The golden sands and vast, arid landscapes of Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan visible during the mid-flight segment.

⚓

Volga River Delta

Observe the intricate patterns of the Volga as it meets the northern Caspian Sea in Russia.

🏞️

Central European Plains

A geometric patchwork of highly organized agricultural land across Poland and Germany.

🏢

Frankfurt Area

Excellent views of the Main river and the dense urban and industrial hubs of Western Germany.

The right side is ideal for morning departures as it remains in the shade for most of the journey, offering clearer, high-contrast views of the Central Asian deserts. It is also the preferred side to avoid direct heat from the sun on long-haul flights. During clear winter days, look for the snow-covered plains of Ukraine and Poland.
