Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panorama of the high Swiss Alps shortly after takeoff, followed by distant views of the Adriatic coastline and a dramatic descent over the Accursed Mountains near the Kosovo border.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏔️

Bernese Oberland

Iconic views of the Eiger, Monch, and Jungfrau peaks appearing shortly after climbing out of Basel.

💧

Lake Lucerne

The complex, multi-armed blue waters of Central Switzerland surrounded by steep mountain walls.

🇮🇹

Italian Dolomites

The sharp, pale peaks of the UNESCO-listed Dolomites are visible as you cross the northern Italian border region.

🌊

Adriatic Horizon

On clear days, the shimmering blue of the Adriatic Sea and the Croatian islands are visible in the distance.

⛰️

The Accursed Mountains

Also known as Prokletije, these are the highest and wildest peaks of the Dinaric Alps on the approach to PRN.

The right side is the definitive choice for Alpine enthusiasts. For the best photography, choose a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. During late afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, so high-quality sunglasses are recommended. The view of the Prokletije mountains during the descent into Pristina is one of the most dramatic in Europe.

🏙️

Basel and Rhine Bend

Aerial view of the tri-border area where France, Germany, and Switzerland meet shortly after departure.

🏔️

Glarus Alps

Rugged limestone peaks of eastern Switzerland, including the Todi massif.

⛰️

Triglav National Park

The jagged limestone peaks of the Julian Alps in Slovenia are often visible to the north.

🌲

Kopaonik Massif

Large mountain range in central Serbia known for its dense forests and ski slopes during the winter months.

🏘️

Podujevo Valley

Final descent phase over the rolling hills and agricultural plains of northeastern Kosovo.

Sit on the left for softer morning light if flying an early rotation. This side provides the best view of the Slovenian mountains and the sprawling landscape of the central Balkans. Keep an eye out for the distinct transition from Alpine peaks to the rolling green hills of Serbia.
