Vibrant patchwork fields of Southern Sweden as you transition from the coast to the Baltic Sea.
Poznań Cityscape

Dramatic, snow-capped jagged peaks of the Carpathian Mountains along the Polish-Slovak border.
Budapest Parliament
The most famous view of the Országház and the historical Pest side during the final descent into BUD.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the High Tatras mountains, which appear about an hour after takeoff. On evening flights, this side catches the golden hour glow over the Polish plains. During the final approach to BUD, have your camera ready as the plane often banks, revealing the full majesty of the Danube river.

Øresund Distant View
On clear days, catch a glimpse of the bridge connecting Malmö and Copenhagen to the far west.
Western Carpathians
Deep forested ridges and valleys of the Slovakian mountain ranges during the descent phase.
The Danube Bend
The scenic 'Dunakanyar' where the river makes a sharp U-turn through the mountains north of Budapest.
This side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It offers the best views of the Swedish coastline during departure from GSE. Keep a close watch roughly 15 minutes before landing for the sharp curve of the Danube river near Visegrád, which is a significant geographic landmark.
