Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior vantage point for the most iconic geographical features on this route, including the rugged Balkan Mountains and a long-range panorama of the Alps to the south.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
⛰️

Balkan Mountains

Stunning views of the Stara Planina mountain range shortly after departing from Varna.

💧

Lake Balaton

A clear view of Central Europe's largest lake, recognizable by its distinct elongated shape and turquoise water.

🏔️

The Alps Panorama

A breathtaking horizon of snow-capped Austrian and Bavarian peaks visible to the south during the mid-flight cruise.

🌲

Black Forest Fringes

Dense green forest canopies of the Southern German landscape appearing during the initial descent.

For the most dramatic mountain vistas, the left side is essential. On early morning flights, expect direct sunlight on this side; however, for evening flights, you will be rewarded with a spectacular sunset view over the wing as you head west. Use a window seat behind the wing to capture the engine and the Alps in a single frame.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏖️

Varna Coastline

Excellent views of the Golden Sands and the Black Sea coastline immediately after takeoff.

🏙️

Budapest Skyline

A potential view of the Hungarian capital and the winding Danube River cutting through the city.

🥨

Munich Cityscape

Views of the Allianz Arena and the sprawling Bavarian capital if the flight path tracks slightly north.

🍇

Moselle Valley

The winding Moselle River and its famous steep-slope vineyards during the final approach into Luxembourg.

The right side is ideal for passengers who want to avoid the glare of the southern sun, as it remains in the shade for most of the westward flight. This side offers better views of the Varna bay and the scenic descent into the Moselle wine region near Luxembourg. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of the flight for the vineyard patterns.
