Best sideLeft
WhyDeparting on runway 27, you climb westward with the Igniș and Gutâi Mountains rising close on the left (south) side of the aircraft — these peaks sit right at the edge of Baia Mare and make for a dramatic, close view during climb-out. The right side mostly shows flatter farmland toward the Someș valley, less visually interesting.

🛬 Landing at Baia Mare (BAY)

Best sideRight
WhyLanding on runway 09 means flying eastward into the Baia Mare basin, and the city itself sits just south of the extended centerline, so it unfolds on the right side along with the Gutâi Mountains rising beyond it. The left side mostly shows the flatter countryside toward the Igniș Mountains, which stay more distant and less dramatic during the approach.
