Which side of the plane to sit from Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (Belgrade) to Stockholm Skavsta Airport (Stockholm)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for major urban centers including the departure from Belgrade and the Hungarian capital, Budapest, along with the most dramatic views of the High Tatra mountains.
Belgrade Fortress
Immediately after takeoff, enjoy a bird's-eye view of the Kalemegdan Fortress and the confluence of the Sava and Danube.
Budapest Cityscape
One of the route's crown jewels, providing a clear view of the Hungarian Parliament and the historic Buda Castle district.
High Tatra Mountains
The sharp, granite peaks of the highest range in the Carpathians, often snow-capped well into the spring.
Kraków & Vistula River
The ancient royal capital of Poland is visible along the winding path of the Vistula River.
Baltic Sea Transit
A long stretch over the sea where you can spot large cargo ships and ferries moving between Central Europe and Scandinavia.
Swedish Archipelago
Dense pine forests and red summer cottages become visible during the descent into Skavsta.
The right side is best for city-spotters. Budapest typically appears on the right about 30-40 minutes into the flight depending on the wind. For the best view of the High Tatras, try to fly on a clear day as clouds often hug the peaks. Evening flights on this side offer a spectacular sunset over the Baltic Sea during the summer months.
The Danube Bend
Watch the mighty Danube River wind through the Pannonian Plain after departing Serbian airspace.
Lake Balaton
Central Europe's largest lake appears as a distinctive turquoise stripe in western Hungary.
Western Carpathians
The rolling, forested slopes of the Slovakian mountain ranges provide beautiful textures below the wing.
Gdańsk Bay
As the flight reaches the Baltic Sea, the thin sandy spit of the Hel Peninsula is often visible to the west.
Södermanland Coast
Final approach views of the countless small islands and rocky outcrops of the Swedish shoreline.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep an eye out for Lake Balaton roughly 25 minutes after takeoff; its size makes it unmistakable even from high altitudes. During winter, the frozen patterns on the Baltic Sea near the Swedish coast are a highlight on this side.
