KRR โ BUD
Which side of the plane to sit from Krasnodar Pashkovsky International Airport (Krasnodar) to Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (Budapest)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the Black Sea coastline and the dramatic southern ridges of the Carpathian Mountains, often providing a more scenic entry into the Pannonian Basin.
Black Sea Coast
Expansive views of the deep blue waters as the flight leaves the Russian coastline behind.
Danube Delta
A complex network of channels and wetlands where the Danube meets the Black Sea.
Southern Carpathians
Dramatic views of the jagged peaks and deep valleys of the Romanian alpine regions.
Bucharest Outskirts
The sprawling urban landscape of the Romanian capital visible to the south.
Buda Hills
On final approach, the historic hills and the Citadel overlooking the Danube in Budapest.
Opt for the left side on evening flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun while enjoying the silhouette of the Carpathians. On a standard approach to BUD Runway 31L, this side offers the best views of the Gellert Hill and the city's historic landmarks.
Sea of Azov
The northern horizon often reveals the shallow, shimmering waters of the Azov Sea during ascent.
Transylvanian Alps
Stunning vistas of the central Romanian mountain ranges, often snow-capped in winter.
Apuseni Mountains
The dense forests and karst landscapes of western Romania.
Great Hungarian Plain
A vast patchwork of agricultural fields and rural villages stretching toward the horizon.
Danube Bend
The scenic curve of the river north of Budapest, visible as the plane maneuvers for landing.
The right side is ideal for morning flights, as the rising sun perfectly illuminates the Transylvanian mountain ranges. During the descent, look for the unique geometric patterns of the Alfรถld (Great Plain) which are particularly striking during the harvest season.
