Which side of the plane to sit from Munich Airport (Munich) to Timişoara Traian Vuia Airport (Timisoara)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panorama of the northern Alpine fringe, the stunning Salzkammergut lake district, and a full-length view of Lake Balaton.
Chiemsee
Known as the Bavarian Sea, look for the Herreninsel and Fraueninsel islands shortly after takeoff.
Austrian Alps
The jagged limestone peaks of the Salzkammergut and the Dachstein massif visible on the horizon.
Lake Balaton
The entire 77km length of Central Europe's largest freshwater lake is usually visible in its entirety.
Szeged
The prominent twin towers of the Votive Church and the Tisza River loops near the Serbian border.
This side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Look out early for the Bavarian lakes; Chiemsee is unmistakable. During the winter months, the snow-covered Alps to the south provide a high-contrast, dramatic backdrop that is significantly more impressive than the northern plains.
Passau Confluence
The unique meeting point of the Danube, Inn, and Ilz rivers near the German-Austrian border.
Linz
A clear view of Upper Austria's capital and its industrial harbor along the Danube curve.
Budapest Cityscape
The majestic Hungarian Parliament building and the historic bridges connecting Buda and Pest.
Great Hungarian Plain
The vast, flat expanse of the Puszta featuring unique circular irrigation patterns.
Sit on the left for the most direct view of Budapest's architecture. The best lighting for this side occurs during late afternoon flights when the sun is in the south, illuminating the Danube's northern banks. Keep your camera ready about 45 minutes after departure from Munich.
