DWC → BUD
Which side of the plane to sit from Al Maktoum International Airport (Dubai) to Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (Budapest)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a more diverse geographic display, including the iconic Dubai skyline upon departure, the rugged Zagros and Carpathian mountain ranges, and the vast expanse of the Black Sea.
Downtown Dubai
Unmatched views of the Burj Khalifa and the main city skyline during the initial climb.
Zagros Mountains
Dramatic, folded mountain ridges along the border region of Iraq and Iran.
Lake Van
The brilliant blue waters of Turkey's largest lake, surrounded by volcanic peaks.
Black Sea Coast
The picturesque transition where the Turkish mountains meet the southern shores of the Black Sea.
Carpathian Mountains
The majestic, often snow-capped arc of the Transylvanian Alps in Romania.
Great Hungarian Plain
The flat, agricultural heartland of Hungary stretching towards the horizon before landing.
This is the superior side for mountain lovers. For the best experience, choose a flight departing around midday to ensure the sun is high enough to illuminate the deep valleys of the Carpathians and the turquoise hues of Lake Van.
Jebel Ali Port
The massive industrial port and the outline of Palm Jebel Ali shortly after taking off from DWC.
Mesopotamian Basin
The historical plains between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers across Iraq.
Central Anatolia
The unique volcanic landscapes and plateau formations of central Turkey.
Ankara Skyline
A high-altitude view of the Turkish capital city's sprawling urban layout.
Vitosha Mountain
The prominent mountain massif overlooking Sofia as you transit Bulgarian airspace.
Buda Hills
The scenic, forested hills of the western side of Budapest during the final descent.
Sit on this side for a morning flight to avoid the direct glare of the sun. During the landing phase at BUD, if the wind is from the north, this side often gets a sweeping view of the Danube River and the Parliament building.
