KRR β VIE
Which side of the plane to sit from Krasnodar Pashkovsky International Airport (Krasnodar) to Vienna International Airport (Vienna)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for spotting major European capitals like Budapest and Bratislava, along with the winding beauty of the Danube River during the descent.
Kuban Steppe
The vast, patchwork agricultural landscapes surrounding Krasnodar immediately after takeoff.
Budapest Cityscape
A spectacular view of the Hungarian Parliament, the Chain Bridge, and the Buda Castle complex.
Bratislava
The Slovakian capital and its distinct castle are visible just minutes before crossing into Austrian territory.
Danube Bend
The dramatic curve where the Danube River turns sharply south toward Budapest.
Vienna Woods
The lush green biosphere reserve that hugs the western outskirts of the destination city.
The right side is the 'city side' for this route. For the best view of Budapest, keep your camera ready approximately 45-60 minutes before arrival. In the morning, the sun will be behind you, providing perfect illumination for the Danube and city landmarks.
Black Sea Coast
Aerial views of the northern Black Sea coastline shortly after departure from the Krasnodar region.
Transylvanian Alps
The rugged, snow-dusted peaks of the Southern Carpathians as the flight traverses Romanian airspace.
Lake Balaton
Central Europe's largest lake, easily recognizable by its elongated shape and turquoise water in Hungary.
Rax-Schneeberg Group
The easternmost high limestone peaks of the Alps visible to the south during the final approach into Vienna.
Choose the left side for dramatic mountain landscapes, especially during sunset flights when the Carpathians and Alps are silhouetted against the glowing sky. This side typically experiences less direct glare during westbound afternoon flights.
