DME β VIE
Which side of the plane to sit from Domodedovo International Airport (Moscow) to Vienna International Airport (Vienna)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers spectacular views of the High Tatra mountain range and a better angle for the scenic approach over the Danube River into Vienna.
Southern Moscow
Aerial views of the sprawling residential districts and the MKAD ring road shortly after takeoff from DME.
Belarusian Forests
Deep green expanses of the dense mixed forests of Eastern Europe stretching across the horizon.
High Tatra Mountains
The jagged, snow-capped peaks of the Carpathian range forming the natural border between Poland and Slovakia.
KrakΓ³w Vista
The historic Polish city and the winding Vistula River can often be spotted during the mid-flight cruise.
Danube River
The blue artery of Central Europe becomes visible as the aircraft descends toward Schwechat.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight glare. The High Tatras appear approximately 40 minutes before landing and are best viewed in winter when covered in snow. Request a seat forward of the wing for an unobstructed view of the alpine descent.
DME Operations
Excellent views of the airport terminal and taxiways if the aircraft takes off towards the west.
Warsaw Skyline
The modern skyscrapers and the Palace of Culture and Science in the Polish capital are often visible to the north.
Moravian Gate
A geomorphological feature in the Czech Republic between the Sudetes and the Carpathians.
Lower Austria Hills
The rolling vineyards and agricultural landscapes of the Weinviertel region during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the golden hour over the Polish plains. It offers a great perspective of the northern Vienna suburbs if the flight path enters from the northwest, which is common during certain wind conditions.
