Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a spectacular, long-duration panorama of the Alps across Switzerland and Austria, alongside major landmarks like Lake Constance and the Bavarian capital.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🏔️

The Alpine Panorama

A continuous, stunning view of the snow-capped Swiss and Austrian Alps to the south.

💧

Lake Constance (Bodensee)

A massive glacial lake marking the border between Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.

🍺

Munich & Bavaria

The red-roofed city of Munich and the distinct white ring of the Allianz Arena.

⛰️

Salzburg & Foothills

Mozart's birthplace nestled perfectly where the plains meet the dramatic mountain walls.

🍷

Lake Balaton

The 'Hungarian Sea' is often visible in the distance as you cross the Transdanubian region.

The right side is the undisputed winner for nature lovers. For the most dramatic lighting on the Alpine peaks, book a late afternoon flight when the sun hits the southern slopes. During winter months, the snow-covered mountains provide a high-contrast landscape that is visible for over 45 minutes of the flight.

Left Side Highlights

🍾

Champagne Vineyards

Rolling hills and prestigious estates of the Grand Est region shortly after departing Paris.

🥨

Stuttgart & Neckar Valley

The industrial heart of southern Germany surrounded by dense forests and river valleys.

🏰

Regensburg

A well-preserved medieval city situated at the northernmost point of the Danube River.

🎡

Vienna

The sprawling Austrian capital is often visible on the descent into the Carpathian Basin.

🌊

The Danube Bend

The dramatic U-shaped curve of the Danube River at Visegrád as the flight nears Budapest.

Choose the left side for better views of northern European cities and the intricate geometry of the Danube. It is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct glare, providing clear visibility of the Vienna skyline and the scenic Visegrád mountains during the final approach.
