Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a spectacular vantage point for the Eastern and Central Alps, providing sweeping views of snow-capped peaks and the expansive Lake Constance during the descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
⛰️

Julian Alps

Aerial views of the rugged limestone peaks of Slovenia and the Triglav National Park shortly after departure.

🏔️

Hohe Tauern Range

The high peaks of the Austrian Alps, including the Grossglockner massif, visible in the distance to the south.

🏙️

Salzburg Lake District

Glancing views of the turquoise alpine lakes near the Austrian-German border.

💧

Lake Constance (Bodensee)

A massive freshwater lake shared by Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, appearing as a major landmark during the descent.

🌲

Upper Swabia

The lush green landscapes and dense forests of southern Germany as the plane aligns for Stuttgart.

Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind the aircraft, illuminating the mountain peaks. During winter, the snow coverage on the Alps is breathtaking. Look for the distinctive 'V' shape of Lake Constance to signal that you are about 15-20 minutes from landing.

Right Side Highlights
6.5
🏙️

Belgrade Cityscape

A clear view of the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers immediately after takeoff from BEG.

🌊

Danube River

The aircraft often parallels or crosses the Danube multiple times, showing its winding path through the Pannonian Plain.

🏗️

Munich Metropolitan Area

The sprawling Bavarian capital and its distinctive Allianz Arena can often be spotted to the north.

⛰️

Swabian Jura

The dramatic cliffs and limestone plateaus that characterize the landscape just south of Stuttgart.

✈️

Stuttgart Approach

Aerial views of the industrial hubs and vineyards surrounding the Neckar valley during the final approach.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight. It provides a better perspective of the Danube's progression and the urban sprawl of southern German cities. At night, this side offers a more consistent view of city lights across the plains compared to the dark mountain ranges on the left.
