Search flights from VOL to VIE
Pagasetic Gulf
Immediately after takeoff, enjoy the panoramic view of the circular gulf and the Pelion peninsula's lush greenery.
Pindus Mountain Range
Cross over the 'spine of Greece,' featuring deep gorges and some of the most remote alpine terrain in the Balkans.
Dalmatian Coast
As you head north, the stunning contrast of the blue Adriatic Sea and the thousands of Croatian islands becomes visible.
Dinaric Alps
Fly parallel to this massive limestone chain stretching across Montenegro, Bosnia, and Croatia.
Julian Alps
Spectacular views of Slovenia's highest peaks, often snow-capped well into the spring and early summer.
Vienna Woods
During the descent, the rolling green hills of the Wienerwald provide a scenic entry into the Vienna basin.
Sit on the left for the best lighting during afternoon flights, as the sun will be behind you or to the west. This side is also preferred for seeing the intricate coastline of the Adriatic Sea. Watch for the sharp transition from the Mediterranean climate to the alpine peaks of Slovenia.

Mount Olympus
The legendary home of the Greek gods is visible shortly after departure, rising majestically to nearly 3,000 meters.
Belgrade and the Danube
On clear days, see the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers where the Serbian capital is situated.
Pannonian Basin
The vast, flat agricultural heartland of Hungary provides a geometric patchwork of fields stretching to the horizon.
Lake Balaton
A major highlight on the right, this 'Hungarian Sea' is easily recognizable by its distinct turquoise-milky color.
Vienna City View
Depending on the wind and landing direction (Runway 34 or 29), you may see the Prater and the Danube Tower.
The right side is essential if you want a clear view of Mount Olympus shortly after takeoff from VOL. In the morning, expect direct sunlight on this side. Keep an eye out for the distinct shape of Lake Balaton roughly 30-40 minutes before landing, which is a key navigation landmark for this route.
