Budapest to Marseille flight path: BUD to MRS

Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Budapest to Marseille. While left offers good Budapest departure views, right provides superior scenery for the majority of the flight and especially the landing sequence. The Rhône valley, Provence landscape, and Mediterranean approach are more visually distinctive than the Hungarian plains that dominate the westbound cruise.

During takeoff from Ferihegy (BUD), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left side offers views of the Danube River as it curves through Budapest and the surrounding Hungarian plains. You'll see the city's layout along the river and the flat terrain extending westward toward Austria. Notable sights include: Danube River (Budapest section), Margaret Island, Buda Hills (low elevation, western bank), Hungarian plains extending to the horizon.

When landing at Provence (MRS), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right side provides excellent views of the Rhône River valley, the approach to Marseille, and the Mediterranean coastline. You'll see the Provence landscape, the Rhône delta, and the sea as you descend into MRS. Notable sights include: Rhône River and delta, Mediterranean Sea, Provence hills and valleys, Marseille harbor and coastal city.

The flight from Ferihegy (BUD) to Provence (MRS) takes about 2 hours 15 minutes. The shortest flight path between them is 734 miles (1,181 km); winds and air traffic control usually add a few percent.
