About This Route
Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Ferihegy (BUD) to Eindhoven (EIN)?
Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Budapest to Eindhoven. The takeoff view over Budapest's Danube and Buda Hills is more visually distinctive than the landing approach. The river's dramatic meanders and the hills' relief provide stronger geographic contrast than the relatively flat Kempenland approach.
