Lviv Old Town
Aerial view of the UNESCO-listed historic center immediately following a westward takeoff.
High Tatras
The jagged, snow-capped alpine peaks of the highest part of the Carpathian Mountains.
Bratislava Cityscape
The Slovak capital, including the castle and the UFO bridge, visible as you cross the border.
Danube River
The iconic river winding through the landscape as it flows from Vienna toward the east.
Little Carpathians
A forested mountain range at the tail end of the Carpathians, just before the Austrian border.
For the best experience, choose a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. The High Tatras appear approximately 25-35 minutes into the flight. On clear days, the contrast between the Slovakian mountains and the Austrian plains is striking.

Ukrainian Beskids
Dense, forested mountain ranges of the outer Eastern Carpathians shortly after departure.
Low Tatras
The southern Slovakian mountain chain, featuring long ridges and deep valleys.
Lake Neusiedl
A vast, shallow steppe lake on the Austrian-Hungarian border, visible during the final descent.
Pannonian Basin
The flat, fertile agricultural plains of Lower Austria leading towards the airport.
The left side is preferable during afternoon flights to keep the sun behind you. Keep a lookout for the distinctive reed-covered shores of Lake Neusiedl as the plane begins its final turn toward the runway at Schwechat.
