BEG → FRA
Which side of the plane to sit from Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (Belgrade) to Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a spectacular panoramic view of the Austrian and Bavarian Alps, as well as several iconic lakes and the foothills of the mountain range.
Austrian Alps
Breathtaking distant views of the snow-capped peaks of the High Tauern and the Northern Limestone Alps.
Salzkammergut Lakes
A cluster of turquoise alpine lakes including Attersee and Traunsee nestled between the mountains.
Salzburg Area
Aerial perspective of Mozart's birthplace and the Hohensalzburg Fortress against the mountain backdrop.
Lake Chiemsee
Known as the 'Bavarian Sea', this large lake features prominent islands including Herreninsel.
Munich Surroundings
Views of the suburban sprawl of Munich and the distinct white structure of the Allianz Arena on clear days.
To maximize your experience, choose a seat behind the wing to have an unobstructed view of the Alpine horizon. Late afternoon flights (16:00-18:00) offer a stunning golden hour glow over the mountains. During winter months, the contrast between the white peaks and the green valleys is particularly sharp.
Danube River
The flight path frequently parallels the winding path of the Danube, the second-longest river in Europe.
Linz
A clear view of the industrial and cultural hub of Upper Austria situated directly on the Danube.
Passau
The 'City of Three Rivers' where the Danube, Inn, and Ilz meet in a visually distinct confluence.
Bavarian Forest
Extensive views over one of Central Europe's largest protected woodland areas along the German-Czech border.
Frankfurt Skyline
On final approach to Frankfurt (Runway 25), the right side offers a dramatic view of the 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun which hits the left side. It is also the superior choice for urban photography during the final 10 minutes of the flight when approaching Frankfurt from the east, as it typically faces the city's banking district.
