Which side of the plane to sit from Henri Coandă International Airport (Bucharest) to Eindhoven Airport (Eindhoven)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior urban sightseeing experience, featuring aerial views of major European capitals including Budapest and Vienna, along with the intricate river systems of Central Europe.
Budapest & Danube
A spectacular view of the Hungarian Parliament and the winding Danube River dividing Buda and Pest.
Vienna Cityscape
The historic center of Vienna and the modern Donau City skyscrapers are often visible during clear transit.
Frankfurt Skyline
The 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers and one of Europe's largest aviation hubs visible as you cross Germany.
Rhine River Bend
The iconic silver ribbon of the Rhine as it snakes toward the Netherlands, dotted with industrial barges.
Dutch Polders
The highly organized, geometric landscape of canals and fields characteristic of the Dutch countryside.
The right side is ideal for landmark spotting. The highlight is the Budapest flyover, typically occurring 45-55 minutes after takeoff. For the best view of the Rhine and Dutch landscapes, avoid seats directly over the wing (rows 12-20 on most A320/B737 aircraft).
Southern Carpathians
Dramatic views of the rugged Transylvanian Alps shortly after departing Bucharest.
Lake Balaton
The distinct turquoise elongated shape of Central Europe's largest freshwater lake in Hungary.
Austrian Alps Horizon
The snow-capped peaks of the Northern Limestone Alps visible in the distance to the south.
Spessart Forest
Dense, rolling hills and deep green canopies of the central German highlands.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the southern sun. This side is better for mountain lovers, especially during winter when the Carpathians are snow-covered. Keep an eye out about 40 minutes into the flight for the best mountain vistas.
