Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the majestic Alpine chain and the stunning Lake Balaton, along with a direct view of Lake Garda during the final approach into Verona.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏘️

Transylvanian Plateau

The rolling hills and historic fortified villages of central Romania shortly after departure.

💧

Lake Balaton

The 'Hungarian Sea', Central Europe's largest lake, is a striking turquoise landmark mid-flight.

🏔️

The Dolomites

Dramatic limestone peaks and jagged ridges of the Italian Alps as the aircraft enters Italian airspace.

🍷

Lake Garda

Italy's largest lake and its surrounding vineyards provide a spectacular backdrop during the final descent into VRN.

The right side is the clear winner for Alpine scenery. Try to book an afternoon flight to see the Dolomites bathed in golden light. Lake Balaton is best viewed roughly 60-70 minutes into the flight. If the plane approaches Verona from the north, you will get an unparalleled view of Sirmione and Lake Garda.

⛰️

Southern Carpathians

Deep ridges and forested peaks of the Transylvanian Alps as the flight crosses central Romania.

🏙️

Zagreb Skyline

A distant view of the Croatian capital nestled between the Medvednica mountain and the Sava river.

🌊

Adriatic Coastline

The shimmering blue waters of the Northern Adriatic and the Istrian Peninsula visible in the distance.

🏛️

Venice Lagoon

On a clear day during descent, the distinctive shape of the Venetian lagoon can be spotted to the south.

Choose the left side for better lighting during morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Keep your eyes peeled about 30 minutes before landing for a glimpse of the Adriatic coast. This side is also excellent for spotting the dense forests of the Romanian interior.
