MSQ → VIE
Which side of the plane to sit from Minsk National Airport (Minsk 2) to Vienna International Airport (Vienna)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer scenic views of Eastern Europe, the right side is generally superior for its potential views of Warsaw during cruise and the high-definition urban landscape of Vienna during the final approach descent.

Brest Fortress
The historic star-shaped fortification near the Belarus-Poland border is visible shortly after departure.
Warsaw Distance View
The skyscraper-heavy skyline of the Polish capital can often be spotted to the north during the mid-flight cruise.
Silesian Industrial Basin
A massive urban sprawl characterized by a grid-like industrial and residential landscape in southern Poland.
Moravian Vineyards
Geometric patterns of Czech wine country creating a patchwork quilt effect on the landscape.
Vienna City Center
Exceptional views of the Prater, St. Stephen's Cathedral, and the Danube Tower during the final descent into VIE.
The right side is essential for seeing Vienna's city center during the standard arrival patterns for runways 11 or 16. For afternoon flights, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent conditions for photography without glare. Keep an eye out for the distinct 'Donauturm' (Danube Tower) as a landmark for the city center.

High Tatra Peaks
On clear days, the snow-capped summits of the High Tatras on the Polish-Slovak border are visible on the southern horizon.
Beskid Mountains
The rolling forested hills of the Western Carpathian range stretching across southern Poland.
Bratislava Skyline
As the flight nears Vienna, the Slovakian capital and its iconic castle are often visible near the Danube.
Lake Neusiedl
A massive, shallow steppe lake on the Austrian-Hungarian border, appearing as a vast silver expanse.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights as the sun is positioned to the south. Look for the distinct bend of the Danube River as you cross from Slovakia into Austria. In winter, the snow coverage on the Carpathians provides a dramatic contrast to the surrounding plains.
