BEG → LHR
Which side of the plane to sit from Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (Belgrade) to London Heathrow Airport (London)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the core Alpine peaks during the middle of the flight and provides the iconic aerial panorama of Central London's landmarks during the standard approach to Heathrow.
Belgrade Confluence
Clear views of the Sava and Danube rivers meeting and the historic Kalemegdan Fortress shortly after takeoff.
Julian & Austrian Alps
Spectacular vistas of the snow-capped high peaks across Slovenia and Southern Austria.
Lake Constance
The southern shoreline of the massive 'Bodensee' shared by Austria, Germany, and Switzerland.
English Channel
The crossing from continental Europe to the UK, often passing near the White Cliffs of Dover.
Central London
The 'Golden View' of the Shard, Tower Bridge, and the London Eye when landing on Heathrow's runways 27L or 27R.
For the best experience, choose a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Since this is a westbound flight, the sun will be on the left side during midday flights; morning or late afternoon flights are better for photography to avoid glare. The London approach is highly dependent on wind, but statistically, the left side sees the city center most often.
Pannonian Basin
The vast, flat agricultural plains of Northern Serbia and Southern Hungary during the initial climb.
Munich and Bavaria
Aerial views of the Bavarian capital and the distinct white roof of the Allianz Arena stadium.
Rhine River Valley
The winding path of Europe's historic industrial artery through Western Germany.
Brussels Skyline
The dense urban center of the Belgian capital and the distinctive Atomium monument in the distance.
Wembley Stadium
The iconic white arch of England's national stadium is often visible on the right during northern arrival patterns.
The right side is ideal for morning departures as you will be sitting in the shade, making it easier to spot the Rhine and Belgian cities. If Heathrow is operating with an easterly wind for landing, the right side may offer views of Windsor Castle during the final seconds of the descent.
