Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers spectacular views of the High Tatra Mountains in Slovakia and a scenic approach overlooking Bratislava and the Danube River before landing in Vienna.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏢

Kyiv Horizon

Distant views of the Ukrainian capital's skyline if the flight path tracks slightly north.

🏔️

High Tatra Mountains

The jagged, alpine peaks of Slovakia, often snow-capped even in late spring.

🏰

Bratislava Cityscape

A clear view of the Slovak capital, including the castle and the UFO bridge, just minutes before landing.

🛶

Danube River Bend

The winding path of the Danube as it flows from Austria into Slovakia.

🌳

Donau-Auen National Park

The lush green wetlands and floodplains surrounding the river on the final approach to VIE.

The High Tatras are the star attraction; keep your camera ready about 60-70 minutes into the flight. On the final approach to Vienna, this side usually offers a superior view of the Danube and Bratislava. For the best photography, avoid seats directly over the wing.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Dnieper River Reservoirs

Expansive views of the Dnieper's massive water systems near Central Ukraine.

🌾

Podolian Upland

The undulating agricultural landscape of Western Ukraine with its characteristic deep river valleys.

⛰️

Southern Carpathians

The lush, forested ridges of the Ukrainian Carpathians stretching toward the Romanian border.

💧

Lake Neusiedl

A glimpse of the large, shallow steppe lake on the border of Austria and Hungary during descent.

🏗️

Leitha Mountains

The final hilly range before the plane settles into the Vienna Basin.

Sit here for softer morning light as you travel west. During winter, look for the frozen patterns on the Dnieper reservoirs. The descent provides a great view of the wind farms in Lower Austria, which are particularly striking at sunset.
