Which side of the plane to sit from Sofia Airport (Sofia) to Eindhoven Airport (Eindhoven)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior perspective of the Alpine range to the south and scenic views of the Rhine valley during the descent phase.
Vitosha Massif
Immediate aerial views of the 2,290m peak located just south of Sofia Airport after takeoff.
Austrian Alps
Long-distance panoramic views of the snow-capped peaks of the Hohe Tauern range across Central Europe.
Lake Constance
A massive silver-blue expanse where the borders of Austria, Germany, and Switzerland meet.
Rhine River Valley
The winding path of the Rhine through the Black Forest and the picturesque wine regions of Germany.
Dutch Polders
The iconic geometric landscape of the Netherlands featuring intricate canals and green fields on approach.
Opt for a seat forward of the wing to capture unobstructed photos of the Alps. On morning flights, the sun is positioned to the south, providing excellent side-lighting for mountain textures. During winter, look for the stark contrast of snow-covered ridges in Austria.
Belgrade
The historic Serbian capital visible at the strategic confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers.
The Danube
Extended views of the river's winding path through the Pannonian Plain and parts of Hungary.
Bohemian Forest
Distant views of the dark green forested mountains along the border of Bavaria and Czechia.
Frankfurt Skyline
A glimpse of the cluster of skyscrapers that make up Germany's financial capital to the north.
Ruhr Valley
The dense industrial and urban sprawl of western Germany as the flight nears the Dutch border.
The right side is best for those interested in European river geography. Ensure you watch out early in the flight for the Belgrade skyline. On sunset flights, this side offers softer light without the direct glare of the sun.
