Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Luxemburg to Vienna. The right side captures the most dramatic scenery: the Ardennes during takeoff and the Alpine foothills plus Danube meanders during landing. The left side has merit only on descent, but the right side's consistent visual interest across both phases makes it the stronger choice overall.

During takeoff from Findel International Airport (LUX), sit on the Right side for the best views. Climbing eastbound from Luxembourg, the right side offers views of the Ardennes plateau and the Moselle River valley. The left side faces westward toward France with less dramatic terrain. Notable sights include: Ardennes plateau (rolling forested highlands), Moselle River (winding through valleys), Luxembourg City (visible briefly below during initial climb), Belgian-Luxembourg border region.

When landing at Schwechat (VIE), sit on the Left side for the best views. On descent into Vienna from the west, the left side provides excellent views of the Danube River as it approaches the city, plus the Alpine foothills (Wienerwald) to the south. The right side faces the flat Hungarian plains with less visual interest. Notable sights include: Danube River (major oxbow bends visible near Vienna), Wienerwald (Vienna Woods—forested hills south of the city), Vienna city sprawl and Danube Island (Donauinsel), Alpine foothills receding southward.

The flight from Findel International Airport (LUX) to Schwechat (VIE) takes Approximately 1 hour 20 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Rhine-Main region of Germany (not directly visible but the route passes north of Frankfurt), then continues southeast over Bavarian terrain. Notable midpoint features include the Main River valley, the transition from Rhineland plateau to Bavarian uplands, and eventually the Danube valley as the aircraft descends into Austria. The Bohemian Massif lies to the north of the direct route.
