Warsaw Skyline
Aerial views of the Vistula River and Warsaw's growing skyscraper district immediately after takeoff from Chopin Airport.
Eastern High Tatras
Dramatic granite peaks along the Poland-Slovakia border, including views toward Lomnický štít.
Budapest & Danube
On clear days, the Hungarian capital and the winding Danube River are visible as the flight traverses Central Europe.
Dinaric Alps
The rugged, limestone peaks of Bosnia and Herzegovina provide a stunning, lunar-like landscape during the descent.
Dubrovnik Old Town
The absolute highlight; as the plane turns for Runway 11, the terracotta roofs and stone walls of the UNESCO site appear.
Book a window seat on the left (A) for the legendary approach. Most flights land on Runway 11, coming from the northwest, which puts the Old Town directly in your field of vision. For morning flights, this side is shaded, providing better lighting for photography without sun glare.

A close-up view of Gerlachovský štít, the highest peak in the Carpathian Mountains, shortly after crossing into Slovakia.
Lake Balaton
The turquoise waters of Central Europe's largest lake, stretching across the Hungarian landscape.
Dalmatian Archipelago
Beautiful views of the Elafiti Islands and the deep blue Adriatic Sea as the aircraft begins its final approach.
Port of Gruž
Dubrovnik's main harbor and cruise ship terminal are visible just before the aircraft aligns with the runway.
The right side (F) is excellent for mountain lovers and island enthusiasts. You will get a better angle of Lake Balaton and the scattered Croatian islands like Mljet and Korčula from a distance. In the afternoon, be aware that the sun will be on this side, which can make the cabin warmer and photos more difficult due to glare.
