Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior perspective of the Alps to the south, the sprawling Lake Constance, and a higher probability of spotting London's iconic skyline during the southern approach patterns into Luton.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Belgrade Confluence

Aerial view of where the Sava River meets the Danube shortly after takeoff from Nikola Tesla Airport.

🏔️

The Julian Alps

Distant but majestic views of the snow-capped peaks in Slovenia and Southern Austria.

💧

Lake Constance

A massive view of the 'Bodensee' where the borders of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet.

🏰

The Rhine Valley

The winding Rhine River passing through the scenic border region between France and Germany.

🌊

The English Channel

The crossing from continental Europe over to the White Cliffs of the English coast.

Choose this side for morning flights to avoid direct glare while viewing the Alps. The most dramatic scenery occurs mid-flight over Central Europe. During the approach to LTN, if the plane enters a holding pattern to the south, you may see Wembley Stadium and the London city center.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🌾

Pannonian Basin

The vast, flat agricultural heartland of Northern Serbia and Hungary stretches to the horizon.

🌊

Lake Balaton

The 'Hungarian Sea', Central Europe's largest lake, is often visible shortly after departure.

🌲

The Black Forest

Deep green canopies of the Schwarzwald region in Southwest Germany.

🏭

Low Countries Ports

Distant views of the massive industrial ports and canal networks of Antwerp and Rotterdam.

🍃

Chiltern Hills

The Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in England visible during the final minutes of descent.

The right side is excellent for seeing the intricate patchwork of European farmland. In summer months, the late evening sun sets to the northwest, providing a golden hour glow over the English countryside. Keep a look out for Lake Balaton about 20-30 minutes after takeoff.
