Which side of the plane to sit from Valencia Airport (Valencia) to Lviv International Airport (Lvov)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most dramatic, sustained views of the high-altitude peaks of the French, Swiss, and Austrian Alps, as well as a great angle on the Tatra Mountains near the end of the flight.
The Pyrenees
Distant views of the rugged mountain range separating the Iberian Peninsula from France shortly after takeoff.
The High Alps
Breathtaking panoramas of the highest peaks in Europe, including the Mont Blanc massif and the Swiss glaciers.
Swiss Lakes
Vibrant blue patches of Lake Geneva and Lake Neuchâtel often visible through the mountain gaps.
Vienna Basin
Aerial perspective of the sprawling Austrian capital and the winding Danube River as you cross into Central Europe.
Tatra Mountains
The jagged granite peaks of the highest range in the Carpathians, marking the border between Slovakia and Poland.
To maximize your view of the Alps, choose a seat well ahead of the wing to avoid obstruction. This side is particularly spectacular on morning flights when the rising sun illuminates the northern slopes of the mountains. Keep a lookout approximately 60-80 minutes into the flight for the most dense mountain scenery.
Gulf of Lion
Scenic views of the French Mediterranean coastline and the deep blue waters of the Balearic Sea.
Northern Italian Lakes
Exquisite views of the elongated Lake Como and Lake Garda nestled at the foot of the mountains.
The Dolomites
Unique, pale limestone formations and sharp spires of the Italian Dolomites visible to the South-East.
Lake Balaton
The 'Hungarian Sea', Central Europe's largest lake, easily identifiable by its long, narrow shape and turquoise tint.
Budapest
A stunning view of the Hungarian capital, with the Parliament building and bridges visible if the flight path tracks slightly North.
Carpathian Foothills
Lush, rolling green landscapes and dense forests as the aircraft begins its descent into Western Ukraine.
This side is ideal for late afternoon flights, as the sun will be behind you, perfectly lighting the Italian Lakes and the Hungarian plains without glare. Watch for the sharp contrast between the flat Po Valley in Italy and the sudden rise of the Alpine foothills.
