BUD → BEG
Which side of the plane to sit from Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (Budapest) to Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (Belgrade)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is preferred for its consistent views of the winding Danube River and a superior perspective of the Belgrade city skyline, including the iconic Sava-Danube confluence upon arrival.
Danube River Path
The flight path roughly parallels the Danube, offering frequent sightings of its massive, winding course.
Mecsek Hills
Distant views of the forested Mecsek mountain range near the city of Pécs to the west.
Novi Sad
Serbia's second-largest city and the Petrovaradin Fortress can often be spotted on the banks of the Danube.
Belgrade Fortress
The historic Kalemegdan citadel is clearly visible during the final descent into Nikola Tesla Airport.
Sava-Danube Confluence
The spectacular meeting point of the Sava and Danube rivers, marked by Great War Island.
Choose this side for sunset flights to catch the reflection of the sky in the Danube. On the approach to BEG (Runway 12), you will get an unparalleled view of New Belgrade's brutalist architecture and the historic fortress. Keep your camera ready as the plane descends over the Zemun district.
Great Hungarian Plain
Vast, flat agricultural landscapes showcasing the unique 'tanya' farmstead patterns of the Alföld region.
Tisza River
The meandering blue curves of Hungary's second-largest river visible to the far east.
Subotica
The first major Serbian city across the border, known for its distinct central European urban layout.
Vojvodina Farmland
A patchwork of sunflowers and cornfields that define the fertile plains of northern Serbia.
Sit here during morning flights to avoid the glare of the southern sun. This side offers the best view of the horizon over the flat plains of the Banat region, especially beautiful during the golden hour when the fields are illuminated.
