Vienna
A fantastic aerial view of the Austrian capital, including the Danube Island and the historic city center.
Rax-Schneeberg Group
The first major mountains of the Northern Limestone Alps visible as the flight enters Austrian airspace.
Austrian Alps
Stunning vistas of the snow-capped Eastern Alps during the mid-portion of the flight.
Julian Alps
In the final approach, look west for a glimpse of Mount Triglav, the highest peak in Slovenia.
The right side is best for late afternoon flights as the sun illuminates the Alpine faces. The transition from the flat plains around Vienna to the towering peaks is the scenic highlight. Use a window seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the Austrian mountain ranges.

Dramatic views of the High Tatras on the border of Poland and Slovakia shortly after departure.
Bratislava
The capital of Slovakia and its castle are visible as you cross the Danube river region.
Lake Neusiedl
A vast, shallow steppe lake straddling the Austrian-Hungarian border, known for its unique reed beds.
Kamnik-Savinja Alps
As the plane descends into Ljubljana, these sharp limestone peaks dominate the horizon to the east.
Early morning flights are ideal for the left side to avoid direct sun glare. Keep your eyes peeled about 20-30 minutes after takeoff for the distinctive sharp peaks of the Tatras. During the descent, the rugged terrain of northern Slovenia provides excellent photo opportunities.
