Search flights from DEL to VIE
Hindu Kush
Extremely high, snow-capped peaks in Afghanistan and Pakistan, visible during the first third of the flight.
Ashgabat Skyline
The unique white-marble architecture of Turkmenistan's capital city appearing in the desert.
Mount Elbrus
The double-headed dormant volcano and highest point in Europe, standing out in the Caucasus range.
Northern Black Sea
Expansive coastal views of the Crimean Peninsula and the shipping lanes of the Black Sea.
Carpathian Mountains
Dense, ancient forests and jagged peaks as the flight crosses into Romania and Hungary.
The right side is best for mountain enthusiasts. You will have a clear view of Mount Elbrus, which is often the highlight of the trip. Since you are flying West-Northwest, the sun remains on the left side of the aircraft, ensuring your window stays cool and your photos are not washed out by glare.

Thar Desert
Golden sand dunes and arid landscapes visible shortly after departing the Indian capital.
Southern Caspian
The deep turquoise waters and the lush green coastline of northern Iran.
Bosporus Strait
The iconic waterway connecting the Black Sea to the Mediterranean, separating two continents.
Balkan Mountains
The rugged, dramatic limestone ridges stretching across Bulgaria and Serbia.
Austrian Villages
The perfectly manicured countryside and red-roofed towns of Lower Austria during descent.
The left side offers excellent views of the Bosporus and Istanbul if the flight path tracks slightly south. It is ideal for those who prefer seeing the transition from the arid Middle East to the green landscapes of Europe. Be prepared for strong afternoon sun during the latter half of the flight.
