VIE β†’ EVN

Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is superior primarily for the approach into Yerevan, offering a stunning and iconic view of Mount Ararat, along with a closer perspective of the Southern Carpathians in Romania.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🌳

Vienna Woods

Lush green rolling hills immediately after takeoff from VIE, heading southeast.

πŸ”οΈ

Transylvanian Alps

Rugged views of the Southern Carpathian Mountains in Romania, featuring Făgăraș and Retezat peaks.

πŸ–οΈ

Pontic Mountains

Distant views of the Turkish coastline and the verdant mountains lining the southern Black Sea.

⛰️

Lesser Caucasus

Dramatic transition from the Georgian coastline into the high plateaus and volcanic landscapes of Armenia.

πŸŒ‹

Mount Ararat

The ultimate highlight; the massive, snow-covered dormant volcano dominates the right-hand horizon during the final approach to EVN.

The right side is non-negotiable for photographers wanting the iconic shot of Mount Ararat. For the best lighting, choose an afternoon flight so the western face of the mountain is brightly lit by the setting sun. During the Romanian segment, watch for the steep limestone ridges of the Carpathians.

Left Side Highlights
8.1
πŸ™οΈ

Budapest

If the flight path follows the Danube, you will get a clear view of the Hungarian capital and its historic Parliament building.

πŸ”οΈ

Greater Caucasus Range

During the latter half of the flight, the snow-capped peaks of the Greater Caucasus, including potential glimpses of Mt. Elbrus, are visible to the north.

🌊

Black Sea Expanse

A long stretch of deep blue water as you cross from the Romanian/Bulgarian coast toward Georgia.

πŸ’§

Lake Sevan

On the descent into Armenia, the vast blue 'Jewel of Armenia' is visible to the northeast of the flight path.

Sit on the left for a chance to see the distant, jagged peaks of the Greater Caucasus Mountains against the horizon. Morning flights are ideal for this side as the sun will be behind you or to the south, illuminating the northern mountain ranges perfectly.
