Moscow Suburbs
Lush evergreen forests and rural settlements outside Moscow during the initial ascent.
Belarussian Lowlands
Expansive agricultural landscapes and the river networks of southern Belarus and Eastern Poland.
High Tatra Mountains
The snow-capped peaks of the Tatras along the Polish-Slovak border are often visible in the distance.
Danube River
The winding blue ribbon of the Danube as it flows through the Slovakian-Austrian border region.
Lower Austrian Vineyards
The rolling hills and vineyards of the Weinviertel region during the final descent into VIE.
Book a window seat on the left for the best chance to see the High Tatras. In winter, the snow cover makes the terrain far more distinct. For morning flights, this side will be sunnier, so bring sunglasses to enjoy the views of the Danube.

Vienna Woods
The vast green canopy of the Wienerwald surrounding the western edges of the Austrian capital.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep a lookout for the dense forests of the Wienerwald as the plane banks for its final approach. If landing from the north, you might glimpse the outskirts of Vienna.
