MMX → BUD
Which side of the plane to sit from Malmö Sturup Airport (Malmoe) to Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (Budapest)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a more diverse panorama of Central Europe, featuring the German islands, the Bohemian landscapes of Czechia, and the most iconic views of Budapest's landmarks on the final approach.
Rügen Island
Identify the famous white chalk cliffs of Jasmund National Park on the German coastline.
Prague & Central Bohemia
While usually at a distance, the sprawling urban area of Prague can be spotted to the west over the rolling Czech hills.
Vienna & Bratislava
The flight path often passes between these two capital cities, with both visible along the banks of the Danube.
The Danube Bend
Watch for the dramatic 90-degree turn of the Danube River at Visegrád just before reaching Budapest.
Budapest City Center
On the standard approach into Liszt Ferenc Airport, the Right Side offers a spectacular view of the Parliament Building and Buda Castle.
This is the 'photographer's side' for the Budapest arrival. Choose a seat behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the Danube. For the best lighting on the city's architecture, look for flights scheduled in the late afternoon.
Bornholm & Baltic Sea
Shortly after departure, the Danish island of Bornholm is often visible to the east amidst the blue Baltic waters.
Wrocław Cityscape
Clear views of the historic Polish city, known for its numerous bridges and the winding Oder River.
High Tatra Peaks
The jagged, alpine-style peaks of the Tatra Mountains on the border of Poland and Slovakia offer a dramatic skyline.
Great Hungarian Plain
As you enter Hungarian airspace, the vast, flat agricultural landscapes of the Alföld stretch toward the horizon.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the glare of the southern sun. In winter months, look specifically for the snow-covered peaks of the Tatras, which are the most prominent geological feature on this side.
