GRZ → VIE
Which side of the plane to sit from Graz Airport (Graz) to Vienna International Airport (Vienna)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a front-row seat to the dramatic eastern edge of the Alps, including the iconic Schneeberg and Rax massifs, contrasting with the urban sprawl of Graz at takeoff.

Graz Schlossberg
Immediately after takeoff, view the historic clock tower and the dense red-roofed old town of Graz.
Semmering Pass
A UNESCO World Heritage railway region featuring rugged limestone cliffs and dense forests.
Schneeberg & Rax
The highest mountains in Lower Austria, often snow-capped well into spring, providing a sharp alpine horizon.
Vienna Woods
The 'Green Lung' of Vienna, appearing as a vast undulating carpet of beech and oak trees during the descent.
Sit on the left for the best morning light on the mountains. Since this flight is very short (approx. 35 mins), keep your window shade up from the moment of take-off. The transition from the Mur valley to the Alps happens very quickly.

Lake Neusiedl
On clear days, see the shimmering surface of Central Europe's largest endorheic lake on the Hungarian border.
Bratislava Skyline
The capital of Slovakia is often visible in the distance to the northeast during the final approach to Vienna.
OMV Refinery Schwechat
A massive industrial landscape that signals you are seconds away from touching down at VIE.
The right side is ideal for catching the sunrise if you are on the early morning commuter shuttle. Look for the distinct silver glint of the Danube river as the aircraft maneuvers for landing at Schwechat.
