Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a more dramatic scenic experience, featuring the spectacular High Tatra mountains and the rugged Southern Carpathians of Romania.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

High Tatra Mountains

Breathtaking views of the jagged granite peaks and alpine lakes on the border between Poland and Slovakia.

🏰

Transylvanian Plateau

The rolling hills and historic medieval settlements of central Romania's most famous region.

🏔️

Făgăraș Mountains

The highest and most dramatic peaks of the Southern Carpathians, often snow-capped well into late spring.

🌲

Kampinos National Park

A vast expanse of forest and dunes located just west of Warsaw, visible during initial climb.

🏙️

Bucharest Skyline

Panoramic views of the Palace of the Parliament and the urban sprawl of Bucharest during the approach to OTP.

For the best mountain photography, choose a window seat forward of the wing. Morning flights provide excellent side-lighting on the Tatras. During the descent, look for the Transfăgărășan highway winding through the peaks in summer months.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🏙️

Warsaw Cityscape

Bird's eye view of the Vistula River and the modern skyscrapers of the Polish capital shortly after takeoff.

🏘️

Lublin Upland

The picturesque patchwork of agricultural fields and small villages in southeastern Poland.

⛰️

Eastern Carpathians

View of the densely forested ridges and rolling hills along the border of Ukraine and Romania.

🌾

Wallachian Plain

The vast, flat agricultural heartland of southern Romania as the plane begins its final descent.

Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights, as the sun will be on the opposite side. This side is also excellent for spotting the winding Siret River in eastern Romania if the flight path deviates slightly eastward.
