Which side of the plane to sit from Vienna International Airport (Vienna) to Krasnodar Pashkovsky International Airport (Krasnodar)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the historic Danube River, the dense mountain ranges of the Eastern Carpathians, and the cityscapes of Vienna and Budapest.
Vienna & Danube
Aerial view of the Austrian capital and the winding Blue Danube shortly after takeoff.
Budapest Skyline
Clear views of the Hungarian Parliament and the historic Buda Castle district if the flight path tracks north.
Eastern Carpathians
Snow-capped peaks and forested ridges of the mountain range stretching through Romania.
Moldavian Vineyards
Extensive rolling hills and agricultural patterns of the famous wine-growing regions.
Northern Black Sea
The dramatic coastline where the land meets the deep blue waters of the Black Sea.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct solar glare. Keep your camera ready about 15-20 minutes after takeoff for the best views of the Hungarian capital. During winter, the Carpathian peaks are particularly striking under snow cover.
Lake Balaton
Central Europe's largest lake, visible as a long, turquoise body of water in Western Hungary.
Transylvanian Alps
Rugged southern reaches of the Carpathian Mountains with peaks exceeding 2,500 meters.
Bucharest
The sprawling urban expanse of the Romanian capital visible across the Wallachian Plain.
Black Sea Horizon
A vast, shimmering maritime horizon, especially beautiful during late afternoon golden hour.
Krasnodar Reservoir
A massive man-made lake on the Kuban River seen just before the final approach into KRR.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Black Sea. Keep an eye out for the distinct rectangular patterns of the Kuban agricultural fields, which look like a giant quilt during the harvest season in late summer.
