Pisa & Arno River
Immediate views of the Square of Miracles and the winding Arno River shortly after takeoff from PSA.
Dolomite Range
Spectacular views of the UNESCO-listed jagged limestone peaks in the South Tyrol and Belluno regions.
Triglav National Park
The soaring peaks and deep emerald valleys of the Julian Alps in northwestern Slovenia.
Buda Hills
The green, rolling hills and the Janos-hegy lookout tower as the aircraft aligns for the final approach.
Danube Bend
Occasional glimpses of the river's dramatic curve north of Budapest depending on the arrival pattern.
Sit on the left for the most impressive mountain photography. On morning flights, the sun is behind you, illuminating the Dolomites perfectly. Watch for the distinct 'Three Peaks of Lavaredo' if the flight path tracks slightly north of Venice. Seasonal snow cover in winter makes the Alpine segment particularly breathtaking.

Tuscan Hinterland

Venetian Lagoon
If the route follows the coastline, the distinct fish-shape of Venice and its surrounding islands are visible.
Lake Balaton
A comprehensive view of Central Europe's largest freshwater lake and the volcanic Tihany Peninsula.
Budapest Cityscape
Excellent views of the Pest side, including the Hungarian Parliament Building and the massive dome of St. Stephen's Basilica.
Liszt Ferenc Airport
Detailed view of the terminal buildings and the cargo city facilities during the final touchdown phase.
Choose the right side if you prefer water features and city skylines. This side avoids direct sun glare on afternoon flights heading east. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Hungarian border to capture the turquoise expanse of Lake Balaton, which is often a highlight of this specific route.
