Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic High Tatras and the stunning snow-capped peaks of the Austrian and Italian Alps, culminating in a view of the Italian Lakes during descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
πŸ”οΈ

High Tatras

The jagged, alpine-style peaks of the Tatra Mountains forming the natural border between Slovakia and Poland.

πŸ’§

The Danube Bend

The dramatic curve of the Danube River north of Budapest, cutting through the VisegrΓ‘d Hills.

❄️

Austrian Alps

A continuous and majestic panorama of high-altitude glaciers and limestone massifs across central Austria.

πŸ’Ž

The Dolomites

The unique, jagged UNESCO World Heritage peaks of South Tyrol, often passing very close to the flight path.

🏞️

Lake Garda and Iseo

Deep blue glacial lakes nestled at the foot of the Alps, visible during the final approach into Bergamo airport.

The right side is the premier choice for mountain lovers. Keep your window shade open from the mid-point of the flight to catch the transition from the rolling hills of Hungary to the high Alpine peaks. For the best photography, avoid seats directly over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Lake Garda as the aircraft banks for its final approach into BGY. Use a polarizer if flying mid-day to cut through the haze over the mountains.

Left Side Highlights
7.0
⛰️

Eastern Carpathians

Deep green forested ridges and rolling hills of the Ukrainian and Romanian borderlands early in the flight.

🌊

Lake Balaton

The largest lake in Central Europe, visible as a long turquoise ribbon across the Hungarian landscape.

πŸ™οΈ

Zagreb and the Sava River

Distant views of the Croatian capital and the winding river as the flight path skirts the Balkan peninsula.

🚜

Po Valley

The vast, fertile plains of Northern Italy, characterized by a patchwork of agricultural fields and industrial hubs.

Choose the left side for softer lighting during morning flights, as you will be facing south away from the direct sun. This side provides an excellent overview of the Hungarian plains and the northern Adriatic coastline in the distance if visibility is high. It is particularly scenic during sunset on late afternoon flights when the Po Valley glows in golden hues.
