New Belgrade
Direct views of the modern skyline and the Ušće confluence where the Sava meets the Danube.
Sava River Meanders
Follow the silver ribbon of the Sava river as it cuts through the fertile Mačva plains.
Drina River Gorge
Spot the emerald-green waters of the Drina River, which serves as the natural border between Serbia and Bosnia.
Olympic Mountains
As the plane enters the Sarajevo valley, look for the peaks of Jahorina and Trebević.
Sarajevo Valley
A panoramic view of the narrow valley city, tightly packed between high mountain ranges.
The right side is best for morning flights as the sun will be behind you, highlighting the turquoise Drina River and the deep mountain valleys. Due to the very short flight time (approx. 35-45 mins), avoid getting up from your seat to maximize viewing time.

Avala Tower
Visible shortly after takeoff, this landmark stands atop Mount Avala overlooking the Belgrade region.
Šumadija Hills
The rolling green landscapes and orchards of central Serbia provide a scenic mosaic during mid-flight.
Romanija Mountain
The steep cliffs and dense pine forests of this iconic Bosnian range appear during the descent.
Sit on the left for evening flights to capture the city lights of Belgrade upon departure and the sunset over the Šumadija hills. This side is also excellent for viewing the residential slopes of Sarajevo during the final approach.
