DNK → VIE
Which side of the plane to sit from Dnipropetrovsk International Airport (Dnepropetrovsk) to Vienna International Airport (Vienna)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior lighting for photography during the typical westward flight path and provides the most direct views of the Carpathian mountain range and the southern Vienna basin.

Dnieper River Delta
Extensive views of the winding river and its intricate channels immediately following departure from Dnipro.
Kryvyi Rih Basin
Visible industrial landscapes and unique red-tinted earth from the region's massive iron ore mining operations.
Southern Carpathians
Dramatic views of the jagged, forested peaks of the Ukrainian and Romanian border mountains roughly halfway through the flight.
Burgenland Vineyards
A patchwork of neatly organized vineyards and the northern tip of Lake Neusiedl as the aircraft descends into Austria.
Opt for the left side on morning flights to have the sun behind you for clearer photos. Watch for the sharp contrast between the Ukrainian steppe and the sudden rise of the Carpathians approximately 50-60 minutes after takeoff. For the best view of the Vienna Woods during descent, ensure you are seated well clear of the wing.

Kremenchuk Reservoir
The 'Kremenchuk Sea' offers a massive expanse of water reflecting the sky shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
Lviv Urban Area
On a northern routing, you can spot the historic dense architecture and church spires of Western Ukraine's cultural capital.
High Tatra Peaks
Distant but sharp views of the snow-capped Slovakian peaks visible to the north during the mid-flight transit.
Vienna Cityscape
A prime view of the Danube Tower and the city's historic center if the aircraft approaches VIE from the northeast.
The right side is excellent for catching the sunset on late afternoon flights. Keep an eye out for the Danube River as it snakes toward the city of Vienna. During the final approach, the right side often gets a spectacular panorama of the city center if the wind dictates a landing on Runway 16 or 11.
