VNO β VIE
Which side of the plane to sit from Vilnius International Airport (Vilnius) to Vienna International Airport (Vienna)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior urban views, including a potential look at the Warsaw skyline and the scenic approach into Vienna over the Danube river and Moravian hills.
Vilnius TV Tower
Lithuania's tallest structure is often clearly visible shortly after takeoff from VNO.
Warsaw Skyline
A stunning view of Poland's capital, including its distinct cluster of skyscrapers and the Vistula River.
Silesian Landscape
The industrial and urban patchwork of the Katowice and Ostrava regions as you cross from Poland to Czechia.
Moravian Vineyards
The geometric beauty of South Moravia's wine country just before entering Austrian airspace.
Vienna & The Danube
Spectacular views of the Danube River and the city of Vienna during the standard approach into VIE.
The right side is the 'city-view' side. For the best experience, book a seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Warsaw. During winter flights, the late afternoon sun can be bright on this side, but it provides excellent lighting for photos of the Moravian hills and the approach into the Austrian capital.
BiaΕowieΕΌa Fringe
Glances of the vast forest systems along the Polish-Belarusian border shortly after departure.
Lublin Upland
Expansive views of the agricultural heartland and rolling plains of eastern Poland.
Tatra Mountains
On clear days, the jagged, snow-capped peaks of the High Tatras are visible far to the south.
Lake Neusiedl
The large, shallow steppe lake south of Vienna is often visible during the final descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is ideal for spotting the silhouette of the Carpathian mountains in the distance and avoiding the afternoon glare. Watch for the change in landscape from the flat Baltic plains to the more varied terrain of the Vienna Basin.
