Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

While both sides offer stunning mountain views, the Left Side wins for its incredible approach into Munich, providing a closer look at the Austrian and Bavarian Alps and the winding Danube River.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏞️

Lesser Caucasus

Rolling hills and verdant valleys of southern Georgia visible shortly after takeoff from TBS.

🌊

Black Sea Horizon

Expansive views of the deep blue waters and the distant Turkish coastline to the south.

🏔️

Transylvanian Alps

The rugged, snow-dusted peaks of the Southern Carpathian Mountains as you cross Romania.

🏙️

Belgrade and the Danube

Aerial perspective of the Serbian capital where the Sava and Danube rivers meet.

🗻

Austrian Alps

Breathtaking views of the high Alpine peaks during the descent, especially dramatic in winter.

Choose a window seat behind the wing to avoid obstructing your view of the Alps during descent. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting for the mountain ranges. Keep your camera ready as you enter Austrian airspace for the most dramatic landscapes.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏔️

Greater Caucasus

Dominant views of the highest mountain range in Europe, including the towering Mount Elbrus to the north.

🏖️

Crimean Peninsula

Depending on the specific flight corridor, views of the northern Black Sea coastline.

🏰

Transylvanian Plateau

The mystical landscapes of central Romania, dotted with historic towns and dense forests.

💧

Lake Balaton

The largest freshwater lake in Central Europe, easily recognizable by its elongated shape in Hungary.

🍺

Bavarian Landscape

Neat patches of farmland, forests, and small German villages as you approach Munich Airport.

Sit on the right for the best chance to see the iconic peaks of the Greater Caucasus during the first 30 minutes of flight. Morning departures offer the clearest visibility and backlighting for the northern scenery. Watch for the distinct turquoise hue of Lake Balaton while over Hungary.
