Which side of the plane to sit from London Luton Airport (London) to Transilvania Târgu Mureş International Airport (Tirgu Mures)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a more dramatic view of the European landscape, featuring the majestic peaks of the Bavarian and Austrian Alps to the south, followed by the jagged ridges of the Southern Carpathian Mountains as you enter Transylvania.
White Cliffs of Dover
A classic view of the English Channel and the iconic chalk cliffs as you exit UK airspace.
The Black Forest
Dense, dark green forest canopies of Southern Germany stretching toward the horizon.
The Alps
Spectacular long-range views of the snow-capped Bavarian and Austrian Alps to the south of the flight corridor.
Austrian Lake District
Shimmering turquoise alpine lakes like the Attersee and Traunsee nestled between mountain peaks.
Făgăraș Mountains
The highest peaks of the Southern Carpathians, often snow-dusted well into late spring.
Transylvanian Valleys
Medieval villages and fortified churches dotting the landscape during the final descent into Târgu Mureș.
The right side is the 'mountain side.' For the best experience, choose a window seat behind the wing to avoid engine heat haze distorting your photos of the Alps. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, perfectly illuminating the Carpathian peaks during the descent into Romania.
North London & M25
Bird's-eye view of the sprawling London suburbs and the outer orbital motorway immediately after takeoff from Luton.
Belgian Coastline
Clear views of the North Sea coastline near Ostend and the intricate canal systems of the Low Countries.
Brussels Cityscape
The administrative heart of Europe is often visible as the flight path cuts across central Belgium.
The Danube River
Dramatic views of the winding Danube as it snakes through Vienna and towards the Hungarian border.
Budapest Skyline
On clear days, the Hungarian Parliament and the bridges of Budapest are visible to the north of the flight path.
Apuseni Mountains
The western range of the Romanian Carpathians, known for its limestone plateaus and deep caves.
Sit on the left for better city spotting, particularly if you want to see Vienna or Budapest. Morning flights provide soft, front-lighting for the European plains, though glare can be an issue if the sun is low in the south. Watch for the sharp transition from the Hungarian plains to the rolling hills of Transylvania.
