Which side of the plane to sit from Satu Mare Airport (Satu Mare) to Henri Coandă International Airport (Bucharest)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a dramatic view of the Southern Carpathians, featuring the highest peaks in Romania and the distinctive Transylvanian plateau.
Apuseni Mountains
Distinctive karstic landscape and forested domes to the southwest.
Transylvanian Plateau
A patchwork of rolling hills, medieval villages, and deep valleys.
Făgăraș Mountains
The highest peaks in the Romanian Carpathians, often snow-capped until late spring.
Bucegi Massif
Spectacular limestone cliffs and the famous Caraiman Cross if visibility is high.
Snagov Lake
A scenic lake and forest area just before touchdown at Henri Coandă.
The premier choice for mountain scenery. Mid-to-late afternoon flights offer exceptional lighting on the Bucegi cliffs. Ensure your seat is not over the wing for the best mountain panoramas.
Oaș Mountains
Rugged volcanic peaks visible shortly after departing Satu Mare.
Eastern Carpathians
Extensive vistas of the forested ridges of the Tibleș and Rodna ranges in the distance.
Ploiești Refineries
The industrial hub and historical oil center of Romania visible during descent.
Wallachian Plain
The agricultural heartland of Romania stretching toward the horizon.
Northern Bucharest
The affluent residential areas and lakes just north of the city limits.
Ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. Focus on the industrial outskirts of Ploiești and the transition from mountains to the vast Romanian Plain during descent.
