BEG → DTM
Which side of the plane to sit from Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (Belgrade) to Dortmund Airport (Dortmund)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior view of the Northern Alps and spectacular lakes like Balaton and Chiemsee during the transit through Central Europe.
Sava-Danube Confluence
Witness where the Sava river meets the Danube at the heart of Belgrade immediately after takeoff.
Lake Balaton
Central Europe's largest lake, appearing as a long turquoise ribbon across the Hungarian landscape.
Austrian & Bavarian Alps
Breathtaking views of the Northern Limestone Alps and the Berchtesgaden region on the southern horizon.
Chiemsee
Known as the 'Bavarian Sea,' this large lake features prominent islands and the Herrenchiemsee Palace.
Signal Iduna Park
The massive yellow pylons of Dortmund's iconic football stadium are often visible during the final approach.
The left side is ideal for morning flights as the sun will be behind or above the plane, preventing glare while illuminating the Alps. Keep your camera ready about 45-60 minutes after takeoff for the best mountain views. During winter, the snow-capped peaks provide exceptional contrast.
Kalemegdan Fortress
A clear view of Belgrade's historic riverside fortress and the old city center during the climb out.
Budapest
Depending on the specific airway, the Hungarian capital and its Danube bridges may be visible to the north.
Nuremberg
The historic Bavarian city, identifiable by its medieval architecture and the Imperial Castle.
Sauerland Hills
A landscape of dense forests and reservoirs as the flight crosses into North Rhine-Westphalia.
Ruhr Metropolis
The dense, interconnected urban landscape and industrial heritage of Germany's industrial heartland.
Choose the right side if you are flying in the late afternoon or evening to enjoy a sunset over the German horizon. This side offers better views of the urban centers of Central Germany. In the autumn, the Sauerland forests provide a vibrant display of colors beneath the wing.
