AMS โ BEG
Which side of the plane to sit from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam) to Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (Belgrade)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for this route as it offers breathtaking distant views of the Alps, the turquoise waters of Lake Balaton, and a more dramatic perspective of the Sava and Danube confluence upon landing in Belgrade.
Austrian Alps
Spectacular distant views of snow-capped peaks to the south while flying over southern Germany and Austria.
Lake Balaton
The largest lake in Central Europe, known for its distinct milky-green color and surrounding vineyards.
Rhine Valley
The scenic curves of the Rhine river through Germany, dotted with historic towns.
Fruลกka Gora
A lush, forested mountain range rising from the Serbian plains just north of Belgrade.
Belgrade Confluence
A prime view of the Sava River meeting the Danube right before touchdown at Nikola Tesla Airport.
The right side is best for afternoon/evening flights to catch the sunset over the Alps. During the descent into BEG, the right side usually provides a better view of the 'New Belgrade' blocks and the city center. Keep an eye out for the distinct turquoise hue of Lake Balaton roughly 30-40 minutes before landing.
Dutch Polders
Intricate patterns of reclaimed land and canals immediately after takeoff from Schiphol.
Vienna Cityscape
A grand view of the Austrian capital and the winding Danube canal if the flight path tracks north of the city.
Budapest Skyline
On clear days, the Hungarian Parliament and the historic Buda Castle are visible as you traverse central Hungary.
Pannonian Basin
The vast, fertile plains of Vojvodina stretching toward the horizon as you enter Serbian airspace.
Ruhr Industrial Area
Aerial perspective of Germany's industrial heartland including cities like Essen and Dortmund.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is excellent for urban enthusiasts looking to spot the major European capitals like Vienna and Budapest. In winter, look for the stark contrast of the snow-covered Hungarian plains.
