Which side of the plane to sit from Valencia Airport (Valencia) to Timişoara Traian Vuia Airport (Timisoara)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior primarily for the spectacular transit over the French and Italian Alps, providing clear views of high-altitude peaks and the expansive Po Valley.
Spanish Mediterranean Coast
Aerial view of the Costa del Azahar immediately after takeoff from Valencia.
French and Swiss Alps
Dramatic snow-capped peaks of the Ecrins and the high Alpine range during the mid-flight transit.
Milan and Lombardy
Clear visibility of the northern Italian metropolis and the surrounding lake district if the path is northerly.
Dolomites
The distinct jagged limestone formations of the Italian Dolomites visible before entering Slovenian airspace.
Pannonian Basin
The vast, fertile flatlands of Hungary and northern Serbia as the descent toward Timisoara begins.
Sit on the left for morning flights to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Alps perfectly. This side offers the most consistent geographic variety, from the Mediterranean to the highest peaks in Europe and finally the Romanian plains. Use a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze when photographing the mountains.
Balearic Sea
Deep blue waters of the Mediterranean with potential distant silhouettes of the Balearic Islands.
Ligurian Coast
The rugged Italian Riviera and the busy port city of Genoa visible as you cross the coastline.
Northern Apennines
The long mountain spine of Italy stretching southeast toward central Italy.
Adriatic Sea Glimpse
Brief views of the upper Adriatic Sea and the Venetian Lagoon area from a distance.
Banat Mountains
The rolling hills and mountains of southwestern Romania visible during the final approach into Timisoara.
The right side is excellent for sea lovers. If flying during the late afternoon, expect some glare from the sun over the Mediterranean. It offers a unique perspective of the Italian coastline and the industrial heart of the Po Valley from the south.
