Which side of the plane to sit from Dortmund Airport (Dortmund) to Timişoara Traian Vuia Airport (Timisoara)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for spotting the northern rim of the Alps on clear days and provides an excellent view of Lake Balaton and the winding Danube river as you cross into the Pannonian Basin.
Sauerland Highlands
The 'Land of a Thousand Mountains' provides scenic ridges and valleys immediately south of Dortmund.
Alpine Panorama
On clear days, the jagged skyline of the Northern Limestone Alps is visible far to the south.
Vienna & Bratislava
The flight path often passes directly between these two capitals, offering views of the Vienna Woods and the Danube.
Lake Balaton
Central Europe's largest freshwater lake appears as a distinctive turquoise sliver in the Hungarian landscape.
The Danube River
Multiple sightings of the mighty Danube as it snakes through Hungary toward the Serbian border.
The right side is the clear winner for geographic variety. For morning flights, be aware of the southern sun which can be quite bright; however, this is the side you need for the iconic view of Lake Balaton and the distant Alps. Try to get a seat away from the wing to see the Danube bends clearly.
Ruhr Industrial Landscape
Unique aerial view of the historic industrial clusters and urban sprawl of the Ruhr area shortly after takeoff.
Thuringian Forest
Dense, dark green canopies of one of Germany's most famous low mountain ranges.
Prague & Central Bohemia
The 'City of a Hundred Spires' is often visible to the north-east, nestled in the rolling Czech countryside.
High Tatra Mountains
In the distance, the sharp, snow-capped peaks of the Slovakian Carpathians mark the horizon.
Pannonian Steppe
The vast, geometric patterns of the Hungarian agricultural plains leading toward the Romanian border.
Sit on the left for a chance to see Prague and the rugged Tatra mountains in the distance. This side is best for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side of the aircraft, reducing window glare for photography.
