Lake Neusiedl
The vast, shallow steppe lake on the Austro-Hungarian border is visible almost immediately after leaving Vienna.
Eastern Carpathians
Stunning, close-up views of the rugged mountain range as the plane crosses into Romanian airspace.
Transylvanian Landscape
A tapestry of fortified churches and medieval village layouts visible in the valleys below.
Roman & Bacău
Industrial and urban hubs of eastern Romania stand out against the agricultural plains before the turn toward Iasi.
The right side is best for photography, especially during the morning when the sun illuminates the Carpathian peaks from the south. In winter, the snow-covered Ceahlău Massif is a major landmark to spot. Ensure you have a window seat away from the wing for the best mountain views.

Vienna Skyline
A glimpse of the Donauturm and the modern architecture of the Donaustadt district shortly after takeoff.
High Tatras
On clear days, the jagged snow-capped peaks of the Slovakian Tatras are visible on the far northern horizon.
Prut River
The meandering river that forms the natural border between Romania and Moldova is clearly visible during the final descent.
Northern Moldavia
Dense forest patches and agricultural strips characteristic of the Suceava and Botosani regions.
Sit on the left for softer, indirect light during midday flights. It provides a better view of the Ukrainian border regions and the northern Carpathian foothills. Look for the distinctive 'grid' patterns of the eastern European agricultural fields during the mid-flight phase.
