Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic peaks of the Alps and Dolomites, a direct view of the Hungarian capital, and the stunning Italian lakes during the descent into Milan.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🏙️

Budapest & The Danube

A spectacular aerial view of the Hungarian Parliament and the bridges connecting Buda and Pest.

🌊

Lake Balaton

Central Europe's largest lake, easily identifiable by its distinct elongated shape and turquoise water.

⛰️

The Dolomites

The sharp, pale limestone peaks of the Italian Alps, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

💎

Lake Garda & Lake Como

Brilliant blue glacial lakes nestled against the foothills of the Alps during the arrival phase.

🏔️

The High Alps

Snow-capped peaks of the Swiss-Italian border visible as the plane maneuvers for landing at Malpensa.

The right side is the definitive choice for this route. For morning flights, the sun is positioned to your left, providing perfect illumination of the Alps. Ensure you have a window seat away from the wing to fully capture the descent over the Italian Lakes, which is the most scenic part of the journey. In winter, the snow-covered Dolomites are particularly breathtaking.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌄

Southern Carpathian Mountains

The rugged ridges of the Transylvanian Alps stretching across central Romania.

🏙️

Belgrade Skyline

Distant views of the Serbian capital located at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers.

🎭

Venetian Lagoon

On clear days with a southerly flight path, the unique island structure of Venice is visible to the south.

🌾

Po Valley Plains

The vast, geometric agricultural heartland of Northern Italy as you approach Milan.

The left side is best for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. Keep an eye out for the Adriatic coast in the distance as you cross into Italy. If the weather is clear, the Southern Carpathians offer excellent geological detail shortly after departure from KIV.
