Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior vantage point for the most iconic peaks of the Austrian Alps and the dramatic entrance into the Julian Alps of Slovenia.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🍺

Bohemian Countryside

Rolling hills and the famous brewing regions of Western Bohemia south of Prague.

💎

Salzkammergut Lakes

Stunning turquoise waters of Lake Attersee and Traunsee nestled at the foot of the mountains.

🏔️

Dachstein Massif

The massive limestone plateau and permanent glacier, one of Austria's most iconic Alpine sights.

❄️

Hohe Tauern Range

Views of the high-altitude peaks, including distant glimpses of the Grossglockner on clear days.

⛰️

Julian Alps & Triglav

Breathtaking views of Mount Triglav, Slovenia’s highest peak, during the descent into Ljubljana.

This is the 'scenic side' for Alpine enthusiasts. Choose a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Dachstein glacier mid-flight. For afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, so bring sunglasses, but the light reflecting off the snow-capped Julian Alps during landing is incomparable.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏰

Prague City Center

Bird's-eye view of the Vltava River and the historic Old Town shortly after takeoff from PRG.

🌲

Šumava National Park

The 'Green Roof of Europe,' featuring dense spruce forests along the Czech-German-Austrian border.

🏙️

Linz & The Danube

A clear view of the winding Danube River as it passes through the industrial and cultural hub of Linz.

🏔️

Ennstal Alps

Rugged limestone peaks and the dramatic Gesäuse gorge visible as the plane enters central Austria.

🏘️

Ljubljana Basin

The final approach offers views of the sprawling Slovenian capital set against a backdrop of distant hills.

Sit on the left for morning flights to catch the soft light hitting the Bohemian Forest. On the approach to LJU, look for the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, which appear as sharp, jagged teeth to the east. If the flight path takes you directly over Prague city, the left side usually offers the best view of the Charles Bridge.
