TRN → IAS
Which side of the plane to sit from Turin Airport (Torino) to Iaşi Airport (Iasi)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a front-row seat to the most dramatic mountain scenery in Europe, including the Western Alps, the jagged Dolomites, and the Northern Carpathian range.
The Western Alps
Spectacular views of the high Alpine peaks near the French-Italian border immediately after takeoff from Turin.
The Dolomites
The UNESCO-listed pale limestone peaks of the South Tyrol region provide sharp, dramatic silhouettes against the horizon.
Budapest & The Danube
Depending on the specific airway, a clear view of the Hungarian capital and the winding Danube River.
Northern Carpathians
Rugged, forested mountain ridges as the flight crosses from Hungary into the Transylvania region of Romania.
Sit on the left for morning flights to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Alpine peaks. The best mountain views occur in the first 45 minutes and the final 30 minutes of the flight. Choose a seat forward of the wing for unobstructed photography of the Dolomites.
Po Valley Panorama
The vast, geometric agricultural tapestry of Northern Italy, dotted with historic cities like Milan and Verona.
Venetian Lagoon
On southern-leaning routes, you can spot the unique shape of Venice and its surrounding islands in the Adriatic Sea.
Lake Balaton
Central Europe's largest lake, easily recognizable by its elongated shape and distinct turquoise-green water.
Transylvanian Plateau
A landscape of rolling hills, ancient forests, and traditional Romanian villages as you descend toward Iași.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight. If the pilot takes a southern approach into Iași, you might see the city's Palace of Culture during the final descent. Watch for the Adriatic coastline roughly 30 minutes after departure.
