Which side of the plane to sit from Vienna International Airport (Vienna) to Dnipropetrovsk International Airport (Dnepropetrovsk)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more consistent view of the rugged Carpathian peaks and avoids the direct southern sun glare typical on this eastbound route.
Vienna & Danube
Aerial perspective of the Donauinsel and the historic center of Vienna immediately after takeoff.
High Tatra Mountains
Sharp, jagged peaks of the Slovakian mountains visible to the north about 20-30 minutes into the flight.
Carpathian Arc
Dense, dark green forest ridges stretching across the border of Poland and Ukraine.
Ukrainian Steppe
A vast tapestry of geometric agricultural fields that define the landscape of Central Ukraine.
Dnipro Suburbs
Clear views of the northern residential districts and the industrial skyline upon descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid harsh glare from the sun. Keep your camera ready roughly 25 minutes after departure for the best mountain vistas. During winter, the contrast between the snowy Tatras and the dark forests is particularly striking.
Lake Neusiedl
A massive, shallow steppe lake on the border of Austria and Hungary visible shortly after departure.
Southern Carpathians
The distant, rolling silhouettes of the Transylvanian Alps in central Romania.
Moldavian Plateaus
The undulating hills and valley vineyards of the northern Moldovan border region.
Kryvyi Rih Horizon
The industrial outlines of one of Ukraine's major iron-ore mining hubs to the south.
Dnieper River Bend
The dramatic curve of one of Europe's largest rivers as the plane aligns for its final approach.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Dnieper River. Look for the massive scale of the river dams during the final 15 minutes of the flight. Be aware that southern exposure can lead to significant cabin heat on sunny days.
