Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the majestic Julian Alps shortly after takeoff and a stunning aerial perspective of Budapest and the Danube river midway through the journey.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Julian Alps

Dramatic limestone peaks of Slovenia and Italy visible during the initial climb.

🏙️

Budapest Skyline

A clear view of the Hungarian Parliament and the Danube River bridges.

⛰️

Eastern Carpathians

Dense, forested mountain ridges stretching across the Romanian landscape.

🏛️

City of Iași

The historic cultural capital of eastern Romania near the Moldovan border.

Sit forward of the wing for unobstructed views of the Alps. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent lighting for photos of Budapest and the Carpathian range. Keep an eye out for the Prut River, which serves as the natural border between Romania and Moldova.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏖️

Venetian Coastline

Views of the northern Adriatic lagoons and the Istrian Peninsula in the distance.

🌊

Lake Balaton

The 'Hungarian Sea', notable for its elongated shape and turquoise waters.

🏰

Transylvanian Plateau

The rolling hills and historic fortifications of central Romania.

🍷

Moldovan Vineyards

Lush agricultural patterns and wine regions on the final descent into Chişinău.

Choose the right side if flying in the late afternoon to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is particularly scenic during the descent, where the geometric patterns of Moldova's famous vineyards become clearly visible. Watch for the distinctive turquoise hue of Lake Balaton mid-flight.
