DTM → BUD
Which side of the plane to sit from Dortmund Airport (Dortmund) to Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (Budapest)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point for the distant Alps and a superior view of the Buda hills, the Danube river, and the iconic Hungarian Parliament building during the final approach into Budapest.

Alpine Horizon
On clear days, the northern edges of the Austrian Alps are visible as a jagged white line on the southern horizon.
Bavarian Heartland
The historic layouts of Nuremberg and Regensburg near the Danube and Main-Danube Canal.
Vienna Basin
A distant but clear view of the Austrian capital and the surrounding vineyards and wind farms.
Budapest Cityscape
Unmatched views of the Buda Castle, Matthias Church, and the Parliament Building during the standard landing pattern.
The right side is the clear winner for the landing phase. To avoid the direct glare of the sun on this southeast heading, book an afternoon or evening flight. Watch for the 'Golden Hour' reflection on the Danube as you descend toward Liszt Ferenc Airport. If the plane approaches from the north, you will fly directly over the city center.

Thuringian Forest
Dense, rolling green hills and deep valleys of central Germany shortly after reaching cruise altitude.
Prague Panorama
Aerial views of the 'City of a Hundred Spires' and the winding Vltava River in the Czech Republic.
Western Carpathians
Rugged ridges and forested peaks along the border between Czechia and Slovakia.
Danube Bend
The dramatic U-turn of the Danube river near Visegrád as the flight begins its descent.
Sit on the left for a better view of the northern Hungarian border and the scenic Danube Bend. Afternoon flights are ideal here as the sun will be behind you, highlighting the terrain detail. Keep an eye out for the city of Brno as you transition from Czechia to Slovakia.
