Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the dramatic Alpine ridges of Italy and Slovenia shortly after takeoff, followed by a clear perspective of the northern Carpathian ranges upon entering Romania.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Venetian Prealps

The rugged limestone peaks and deep valleys north of Treviso visible immediately after departure.

🇸🇮

Julian Alps

Spectacular views of Mount Triglav and the high-altitude peaks of northwestern Slovenia.

🌲

Kamnik–Savinja Alps

Dense alpine forests and sharp ridges bordering the Austrian-Slovenian frontier.

💧

North Balaton

A distant but distinct view of the northern shores of Central Europe's largest lake.

⛰️

Northern Carpathians

The dramatic transition into Transylvania with sweeping mountain views as the plane begins its descent.

Sit on the left for the best morning light on the Alps during early flights. This side is particularly scenic during the first 20 minutes and the final 15 minutes of the flight. Watch for the jagged peaks of the Dolomites to the far north if the air is clear.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🛶

Venetian Lagoon

A glimpse of the Adriatic coast and the unique islands surrounding Venice during the initial climb.

🏘️

Ljubljana Basin

The green landscapes surrounding the Slovenian capital as the route heads east.

🌊

Lake Balaton

A more direct view of the southern shoreline and the narrow Tihany Peninsula in Hungary.

🌾

Great Hungarian Plain

Vast, geometric agricultural fields that dominate the landscape between Budapest and the Romanian border.

⛰️

Apuseni Mountains

The 'Western Mountains' of Romania, featuring dense woodlands and traditional mountain settlements.

The right side is excellent for seeing the expanse of Lake Balaton mid-flight. Depending on the runway configuration at TSF, you may see the Venetian canals during a climbing turn. In winter, the snow-covered Apuseni Mountains provide a stunning contrast against the plains.
