SVO → BUD
Which side of the plane to sit from Sheremetyevo International Airport (Moscow) to Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (Budapest)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the dramatic High Tatra mountain range and a better angle for the iconic Danube river approach into Hungary.
Khimki Reservoir
Beautiful water views immediately north of SVO airport during the initial takeoff phase.
Minsk Skyline
The skyline of the Belarusian capital is often visible to the west on a clear flight path.
High Tatra Mountains
The most scenic highlight, featuring snow-capped peaks and sharp ridges along the Slovakian border.
Danube River Bend
The famous Visegrád curve where the Danube turns sharply south toward the capital.
Budapest Urban Core
A high probability of seeing the Parliament building and Buda Castle if landing from the northwest.
The right side is the 'scenic side' for this route. Specifically look out for the High Tatras approximately 45-60 minutes before landing. In winter, these peaks are breathtakingly covered in snow.
Moscow Suburbs
Expansive views of the southern metropolitan sprawl of the Russian capital during climb-out.
Pripyat Marshes
Vast, emerald-green wetlands and dense forest tracts stretching across the horizon.
Eastern Carpathian Arc
The rugged peaks of the Eastern Carpathians providing a dramatic transition into Central Europe.
Great Hungarian Plain
The distinct agricultural patchwork and flat horizons of the Alföld landscape.
Gödöllő District
Charming towns and rolling hills indicating the final approach into Liszt Ferenc Airport.
Excellent for morning departures to watch the sunrise over the Russian landscape. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Carpathian range for the best lighting on the mountain slopes.
