Rostov-on-Don
A clear aerial view of the 'Gateway to the Caucasus' and the Don River bridges upon departure.
Transylvanian Alps
Jagged peaks of the Southern Carpathians, often snow-capped well into the spring season.
Transylvanian Plateau
Rugged terrain and rolling hills of central Romania, home to medieval citadels.
Lake Balaton
The 'Hungarian Sea', a massive turquoise lake visible as you cross into Central Europe.
Vienna City Center
On typical approaches to Runway 29, the Stephansdom and Prater Ferris Wheel are visible.
This is the best side for mountain lovers. The Carpathian transit is the highlight; aim for a window seat away from the wing to see the sharp transition from the plains to the peaks. During the descent into VIE, keep your camera ready for the iconic St. Stephen's Cathedral spire as the plane banks for its final alignment.

Glittering views of the world's shallowest sea immediately after takeoff from Rostov.
Danube Delta
The intricate wetlands and biodiversity hotspot where the Danube meets the Black Sea.
Bucharest Skyline
Distant views of the Romanian capital and the massive Palace of the Parliament.
Iron Gates
The dramatic gorge on the Danube River forming the border between Serbia and Romania.
Vienna Woods
Lush green forested highlands that surround the western and southern edges of Vienna.
Sit here for better lighting during morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Look out for the massive winding path of the Danube River, which acts as a constant geographic guide throughout the second half of the journey. In winter, the frozen lagoons near the Black Sea coast are particularly striking.
