Our Recommendation
8.4

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior panorama of the Julian Alps and a high-probability view of the magnificent city of Budapest and the Danube bend during the mid-flight segment.

Left Side Highlights
8.4
🏔️

Julian Alps

Rugged limestone peaks and glacial valleys visible shortly after departure over Slovenia.

🏙️

Budapest Skyline

A sweeping view of the Hungarian capital, including the Parliament building and the winding Danube River.

🌊

Danube Bend

The dramatic curve of Europe's second-longest river north of Budapest as it turns south.

⛰️

Northern Carpathians

The forested slopes and rolling peaks of the Carpathian range spanning Northern Romania.

🍇

Moldavian Plateau

Patchwork fields and vineyards characterizing the approach into the Chisinau region.

Sit on the left for the best views of Budapest's architectural landmarks. During winter morning flights, the sunrise illuminates the Julian Alps beautifully. Use a flight tracker to time the Budapest flyover approximately 45 minutes after takeoff from Venice.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🛶

Venetian Lagoon

Spectacular aerial view of the islands and canals of Venice immediately following takeoff from VCE.

🏝️

Istrian Peninsula

The turquoise waters and rocky inlets along the Croatian and Slovenian Adriatic coastline.

💧

Lake Balaton

Central Europe's largest freshwater lake appearing as a long turquoise stripe in western Hungary.

🏔️

Transylvanian Alps

The dramatic and rugged Făgăraș and Bucegi mountains in central Romania.

🌾

Prut River Valley

The natural border between Romania and Moldova winding through the fertile eastern plains.

The right side is unbeatable for the initial view of the Venetian Lagoon; choose a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting for photographing the Transylvanian Alps as the sun is positioned to the south.
