Făgăraș Mountains
Spectacular views of Romania's highest peaks, including Moldoveanu and Negoiu, often covered in snow.
Olt River Valley
A striking view of the river cutting through the Carpathians, creating a deep and scenic gorge.
Transylvanian Plateau
The rolling hills and historic Saxon villages of southern Transylvania visible beyond the mountain ridge.
Parâng Massif
Massive alpine scenery featuring steep cliffs and the high-altitude Transalpina road nearby.
The mountain crossing happens quickly, usually 15-25 minutes after takeoff. For the best photography of the high peaks, choose an afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the northern slopes. Have your camera ready as soon as the plane finishes its initial climb.

Bucharest Cityscape
Aerial views of the northern districts and the Palace of the Parliament upon departure from OTP.
Retezat Mountains
The jagged, glacial peaks of Retezat National Park are visible as you exit the mountain range.
Banat Plains
The landscape transforms into a vast, colorful patchwork of agricultural fields as you approach Timișoara.
Reșița Industrial Hub
Distant views of the historic metalworking centers tucked into the Banat Mountains.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. This side is better for spotting the Retezat glacial lakes if the flight path tracks slightly south. Watch for the change from hilly terrain to the flat Pannonian Basin.
