Which side of the plane to sit from Banja Luka International Airport (Banja Luka) to Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (Belgrade)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a more diverse landscape featuring the forested hills of northern Bosnia, the emerald Drina River border, and the rolling terrain of central Serbia before the final descent.
Mount Kozara
Dense, lush forests of the Kozara National Park visible shortly after takeoff from Banja Luka.
Drina River
The striking turquoise waters of the Drina River, marking the crossing from Bosnia into Serbia.
Majevica Mountain Range
Low-lying mountain ridges and valleys providing a textured landscape in northeastern Bosnia.
Šumadija Foothills
The rolling hills and orchards of central Serbia, often called the 'Heart of Serbia'.
Avala Tower
The tallest structure in the Balkans is often visible on the horizon to the south of the flight path near Belgrade.
The right side is superior for topographical variety. During morning flights, the sun will be on this side, so bring sunglasses. Keep an eye out for the distinct emerald color of the Drina River, which is a highlight of this short route.
Sava River Meanders
Aerial views of the winding Sava River which forms the natural border between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia.
Pannonian Basin
Vast agricultural plains of the Vojvodina region stretching towards the Hungarian border in the north.
Zemun District
As the plane approaches Belgrade, you can see the historic Austro-Hungarian architecture of the Zemun district.
Danube Confluence
On clear days during the final approach, the meeting point of the Sava and Danube rivers is visible to the north.
Sit on the left if you want a better chance of seeing the urban sprawl of New Belgrade during the landing sequence. This side is particularly scenic during late afternoon flights when the sun is behind you, illuminating the Pannonian plains without glare.
