BEG → BVA
Which side of the plane to sit from Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (Belgrade) to Paris Beauvais Tillé Airport (Beauvais)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior panorama of the high Alps, including the Julian Alps and the Swiss peaks, followed by a potential distant view of the Paris skyline as you descend toward Beauvais.
Belgrade Confluence
Aerial view of the meeting point of the Sava and Danube rivers shortly after takeoff from BEG.
Julian Alps & Dolomites
Dramatic views of the jagged peaks in Slovenia and northern Italy as the plane crosses towards Central Europe.
Swiss Central Alps
Deep views into the heart of the Swiss Alps, featuring snow-capped massifs and glacier-carved valleys.
Jura Mountains
The sub-alpine mountain range along the French-Swiss border with its distinct limestone ridges.
Champagne Region
The rolling hills and structured vineyard patterns of the Grand Est region in France.
Paris Skyline
On a clear day during the descent, look south to spot the distant Eiffel Tower and La Défense skyscrapers.
Sit on the left for the best mountain photography; morning flights provide excellent lighting on the peaks without glare. Keep an eye out about 20 minutes before landing for the Paris city silhouette in the distance. In winter, the snow coverage on the Alps is significantly more impressive from this side.
Danube River Bend
Views of the Danube as it winds north toward the Hungarian border early in the flight.
Austrian Limestone Alps
The northern fringes of the Alps, showing the transition from high peaks to the rolling foothills.
Lake Constance (Bodensee)
A massive freshwater lake shared by Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, visible in its entirety.
Black Forest
The dense, dark evergreen canopy of the Schwarzwald region in southwestern Germany.
Beauvais Cathedral
As you bank for the final approach into BVA, you can often see the massive Gothic Saint Pierre Cathedral.
The right side is ideal for seeing major water bodies like Lake Constance. It remains brighter during late afternoon flights as it faces north/northwest, avoiding the direct glare of the setting sun. It's the better choice for observing the rural landscapes of Northern France and the approach into Picardy.
