Which side of the plane to sit from Eindhoven Airport (Eindhoven) to Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (Budapest)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is significantly more scenic as it offers a distant but majestic panorama of the Alps to the south and a prime view of Vienna during the cruise phase.

The Alps Panorama
Breathtaking views of the snow-capped Bavarian and Austrian Alps visible on the southern horizon.
Munich & Bavaria
A high-altitude view of the Bavarian capital and the perfectly manicured agricultural patterns of the region.
Lake Chiemsee
Known as the Bavarian Sea, this large alpine lake stands out with its prominent islands.
Vienna Cityscape
A spectacular view of the Austrian capital, including the Danube Canal and the sprawling urban layout.
Transdanubia
Rolling hills and vineyards of Western Hungary visible as the aircraft begins its descent into Budapest.
The right side is the 'mountain side.' For the best experience, sit behind the wing to capture the scale of the Alps against the horizon. Morning flights provide the best illumination for the mountains. Watch closely about 20 minutes before landing for a clear view of Vienna and the Donauturm. If the flight approaches from the south, you might also catch a glimpse of Lake Balaton in the distance.

Ruhr Metropolis
Shortly after takeoff, view the dense urban landscape and industrial centers of western Germany.
Spessart Forest
Fly over one of Germany's largest contiguous areas of mixed leaf forest, appearing as a vast green carpet.
Nuremberg
Clear views of the historic Bavarian city, including the medieval castle and old town structures.
Bohemian Massif
Rugged terrain and dense forests along the border region between Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic.
Danube Bend
During the descent, witness the dramatic U-turn of the Danube River north of Budapest near Visegrád.
Choose the left side for better lighting on afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side. It is also ideal for spotting the industrial heart of Germany shortly after departure. Keep an eye out during the final 15 minutes of the flight for the winding Danube River as the plane turns for its final approach into Liszt Ferenc Airport.
