Chiemgau Alps
A breathtaking view of the northern edge of the Alps and the sparkling Chiemsee lake shortly after takeoff from MUC.
Vienna Basin
Aerial perspectives of the Danube river and the outskirts of the Austrian capital as you traverse Central Europe.
Transylvanian Alps
The rugged, high-altitude ridges of the Southern Carpathians, often featuring snow until early summer.
Moldovan Steppe
The unique, rolling agricultural patterns and sprawling vineyards characteristic of the approach into Chisinau.
This is the 'sunny side' for morning flights, so bring sunglasses. For the best views of the Transylvanian Alps, look out approximately 60-70 minutes into the flight. Seats behind the wing are recommended to avoid engine obstruction of the mountain ranges.

Bavarian Forest
Dense, rolling woodlands stretching along the German-Czech border shortly after departure.
High Tatras
The jagged, snow-capped peaks of the Carpathian range's highest mountains visible on the Slovakian horizon.
Bukovina Landscapes
The scenic, monastery-dotted hills of northern Romania as the flight nears the Moldovan border.
Prut River
The meandering silver ribbon of water that serves as the natural border between Romania and Moldova.
Choose this side on afternoon flights to avoid the direct southern sun. Keep a sharp eye out mid-flight for the High Tatras in the distance to the north; they are most prominent in clear winter weather.
