Which side of the plane to sit from Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (Belgrade) to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this route as it offers sweeping views of the Austrian and Bavarian Alps to the south, plus the iconic Belgrade river confluence during takeoff.
Belgrade Confluence
A stunning aerial view of the Sava and Danube rivers meeting at the Kalemegdan Fortress shortly after takeoff.
Austrian & Bavarian Alps
On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the Eastern Alps provide a dramatic horizon to the south during the mid-flight cruise.
Black Forest Fringe
Views of the dense evergreen forests and rolling hills of southwestern Germany as the flight nears the Benelux region.
Moselle Valley
The winding river and steep-sloped vineyards of the German-Luxembourg border region.
Southern Polders
The transition into the Netherlands reveals the intricate grid system of canals and polders near the city of Utrecht.
Opt for a window seat in the front or middle to avoid wing obstruction. For midday flights, the sun will be on this side, so bring sunglasses or choose a morning flight for the best photography lighting over the Alps.
Lake Balaton
The vast turquoise 'Hungarian Sea' is a prominent landmark visible shortly after entering Hungarian airspace.
Budapest Horizon
Depending on the specific air corridor, the Hungarian capital and its bridges can often be spotted to the north.
Frankfurt & Main
Views of the high-rise financial district and one of Europe's busiest airport hubs during the transit over Germany.
IJmuiden & North Sea
If the flight approaches Amsterdam from the north, you will see the massive locks and the coastline where the canal meets the sea.
Flower Fields
In April and May, the vibrant, multicolored rectangular flower fields near the Dutch coast are highly visible during descent.
Choose the right side if you are flying in the late afternoon to avoid the direct southern sun. This side is particularly rewarding in spring (April/May) for the iconic Dutch tulip field colors during the landing approach.
