Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Estonian islands during the cruise and an iconic perspective of the Budapest city center and the Danube River during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏝️

Estonian Archipelago

Stunning views of Saaremaa and Hiiumaa islands as the flight tracks south across the Baltic Sea.

🚢

Baltic Sea Lanes

Watch for large cargo ships and ferries traversing the busy maritime routes between Scandinavia and Central Europe.

🏔️

Western Tatras

A close-up look at the alpine ridges and glacial valleys of the Slovakian mountain ranges.

🏛️

Hungarian Parliament

If landing on Runway 13R/L, this side provides a breathtaking view of the world-famous Parliament building.

🏰

Buda Castle District

Spot the historic Fisherman's Bastion and Buda Castle perched on the hills overlooking the Danube.

Choose the right side for the 'money shot' of Budapest. Most flights land from the northwest (Runway 13), meaning the right side looks directly down onto the city center. For evening flights, you'll also be treated to a beautiful sunset over the Baltic Sea during the early portion of the flight.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🌲

Pirkanmaa Lake District

Aerial views of the dense forests and countless small lakes surrounding Tampere immediately after departure.

🏙️

Warsaw Skyline

On a clear day, look out for the distant skyscrapers of the Polish capital as the route bypasses the city to the east.

🏔️

Eastern High Tatras

Dramatic views of the jagged, snow-capped peaks of the Tatra Mountains while crossing the Polish-Slovak border.

🏞️

Danube Bend

The scenic 'U-turn' of the Danube River near Visegrad is visible as the plane begins its descent into Hungary.

Sit on the left if you are taking a morning flight to avoid direct glare from the sun. This side is also excellent for seeing the rural landscapes of Eastern Poland and the rolling hills of northern Hungary during the descent.
