GRO → IEV
Which side of the plane to sit from Girona Airport (Gerona) to Kiev Zhuliany International Airport (Kiev)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic peaks of the Alps and Dolomites, as well as a better angle for viewing the Danube and the city of Budapest during the mid-flight transit.

Southern Alps
Breathtaking views of the French and Italian alpine ridges early in the flight.
The Dolomites
Distinctive jagged limestone peaks visible as the flight crosses Northern Italy.
Budapest Cityscape
The winding Danube River and the Hungarian Parliament are often visible to the north.
Carpathian Mountains
Densely forested ridges of Western Ukraine during the transition into Eastern Europe.
Book a window seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the mountains. On morning flights, the sun will be on the right, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Alps on the left. Watch the flight map for the crossing into Hungary for the best chance to spot the Danube.

Costa Brava
Excellent views of the rugged Catalan coastline immediately after departing Girona.
Gulf of Lion
A vast blue expanse of the Mediterranean as the aircraft heads toward the Italian coast.
Lake Balaton
The largest lake in Central Europe, known for its distinct turquoise-green water.
Kiev Skyline
As Zhuliany is close to the city center, the right side often catches the golden domes of the Lavra.
The right side is ideal for the final approach into Kiev Zhuliany (IEV). Unlike the larger Boryspil, IEV's proximity to the center means you can see the Motherland Monument and city skyscrapers if the wind dictates a western landing approach. Be aware that afternoon flights may suffer from direct sunlight on this side.
