Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Bangalore to Vienna. While takeoff favors the right, the landing view from the left is significantly more dramatic and geographically distinctive—the Danube's meanders and Vienna Basin provide superior visual interest. For a long-haul flight, landing views typically matter more to passengers.
