Which side of the plane to sit from Vienna International Airport (Vienna) to Larnaca International Airport (Larnaca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior for this route as it offers a panoramic traverse across the Aegean islands and a better perspective of the southern Cypriot coastline during the approach into Larnaca.
Lake Balaton
The turquoise waters of Central Europe's largest lake are often visible about 20 minutes after takeoff.
Dinaric Alps
Stunning views of the rugged limestone karst topography across the Balkan Peninsula.
Aegean Islands
A magnificent view of the Greek islands such as Samos, Kos, and Rhodes scattered across the deep blue sea.
Limassol Bay
Clear views of the Akrotiri Peninsula and the bustling port city of Limassol during the arrival sequence.
Larnaca Salt Lake
The iconic white salt flats and the Hala Sultan Tekke mosque visible just moments before touchdown.
For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to capture the Aegean islands and the Cyprus coastline without obstruction. During summer afternoon flights, the right side will face the sun, so keep your window shade ready but don't miss the descent into LCA which usually passes right over the coast.
Vienna Basin
Aerial views of the Danube River and the eastern edges of the Alps shortly after departure.
Stara Planina
Dramatic views over the Balkan Mountain ranges crossing through Serbia and Bulgaria.
Antalya Gulf
Distant views of the Turkish Riviera and the snow-capped Taurus Mountains to the north.
Kyrenia Mountains
The sharp limestone peaks of Northern Cyprus visible during the final descent phase.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. Look out for the lights of Budapest if flying at night, and watch for the distinct Five Finger Mountains in Northern Cyprus as you descend toward Larnaca.
