Which side of the plane to sit from Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (Belgrade) to Podgorica Airport (Podgorica)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic Dinaric Alps, specifically the UNESCO-listed Durmitor National Park and the deep Tara River Canyon, which are the highlights of this mountainous route.
Search flights from BEG to TGD
Drina River Valley
The winding emerald-green river that carves a natural border between Serbia and Bosnia.
Tara National Park
Dense coniferous forests and high limestone cliffs offering a rugged, wilderness aesthetic.
Durmitor Massif
The crown jewel of the route, featuring 48 peaks over 2,000 meters including the imposing Bobotov Kuk.
Morača River Canyon
A terrifyingly beautiful deep gorge that the flight passes over just before landing at TGD.
The right side is best for late afternoon or sunset flights when the limestone peaks of Durmitor are bathed in golden light. For the best view of the Tara Canyon—the deepest in Europe—try to sit as far forward as possible to avoid the wing obstruction. This side provides the most consistent mountainous drama throughout the 45-minute journey.
Book Hotels in Podgorica
Šumadija Hills
Vibrant green rolling landscapes and orchards of central Serbia visible shortly after takeoff.
Prokletije Mountains
The jagged 'Accursed Mountains' on the border of Montenegro and Albania, known for their alpine-like peaks.
Lake Skadar
An incredible panorama of the Balkans' largest lake, featuring horseshoe bends and small islands during the final descent.
Podgorica Outskirts
Aerial views of the Zeta Plain and the urban layout of the Montenegrin capital upon approach.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is unbeatable for the final five minutes of the flight when Lake Skadar comes into full view, especially if the plane circles for a southern approach. Ensure you have a window seat away from the wing to see the lake's unique vegetation patterns.
