Which side of the plane to sit from Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (Belgrade) to Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers unparalleled vistas of the majestic Swiss and French Alps, including high-altitude glaciers and the rugged Jura range.
Dinaric Alps
Rugged karst landscapes and limestone peaks of the Balkans visible shortly after departure from Belgrade.
Swiss Alps
Spectacular views of the snow-capped central alpine range, including the Bernese Oberland peaks.
Lake Geneva
The expansive crescent-shaped lake and the city of Geneva visible on more southerly flight paths.
Jura Mountains
Lush forest ridges and dramatic cliffs along the border between Switzerland and France.
Burgundy Vineyards
The historic wine-producing regions of eastern France as the aircraft begins its initial descent.
Morning flights are ideal to see the sun illuminating the southern faces of the Alps. Sit mid-cabin or further back to avoid wing obstruction. Watch for the dramatic transition from the jagged Swiss peaks to the rolling French countryside roughly an hour after takeoff.
Danube River
Aerial views of the winding Danube and Sava river confluence near Belgrade during the climb out.
Lake Constance
A massive glacial lake shared by Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, offering brilliant blue water views.
Vosges Mountains
The rounded, forested peaks of the Vosges range in eastern France, often visible north of the flight path.
Champagne Region
Vast, geometric vineyard patterns surrounding the city of Reims during the approach phase.
CDG Approach
Views of the northern Parisian suburbs and the massive infrastructure of Charles de Gaulle Airport.
A great choice for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. Offers excellent views of Lake Constance and the historic Champagne region. During the final approach into CDG, the right side often provides a broader view of the Greater Paris sprawl and northern landmarks.
