PDV → HHN
Which side of the plane to sit from Plovdiv International Airport (Plovdiv) to Frankfurt-Hahn Airport (Hahn)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the highest peaks in the Balkans shortly after takeoff and provides a more dramatic perspective of the Alpine foothills and the Rhine River valley during descent.

Rila and Pirin Ranges
Spectacular views of Musala peak and the rugged high-altitude glacial lakes of southwestern Bulgaria.
Sofia & Vitosha Mountain
A clear view of the Bulgarian capital nestled against the massive dome of Vitosha Mountain.
The Iron Gates
The dramatic narrowing of the Danube River as it cuts through the Carpathian and Balkan mountains.
Austrian & Bavarian Alps
Glances of the northern Alpine rim and the rolling green pre-Alpine landscapes of southern Germany.
Middle Rhine Valley
A UNESCO World Heritage site featuring medieval castles and steep terraced vineyards as you approach Hahn.
Choose the left side for morning departures to avoid direct sun glare. The most dramatic views occur within the first 15 minutes (Rila Mountains) and the last 20 minutes (Rhine descent). In winter, the contrast between the snowy Balkan peaks and the Danube plain is particularly striking.

Balkan Mountains
The long, continuous ridge of the Stara Planina range stretching across the northern horizon.
Belgrade Confluence
The scenic meeting point of the Sava and Danube rivers in the heart of the Serbian capital.
Budapest Skyline
Distant but recognizable views of the Hungarian Parliament and the bridges spanning the Danube.
Spessart Forest
Vast expanses of dense German woodland shortly before the descent into the Hunsrück region.
Frankfurt Skyline
The distant glass towers of Germany's financial hub, often visible on the horizon during the final approach.
The right side is excellent for city spotting, especially Belgrade and Budapest. On evening flights, this side catches the sunset over Western Europe. Keep your camera ready as you pass Central Europe, as the grid-like patterns of Hungarian and Austrian farmland provide excellent geometric photography opportunities.
