CDG โ BEG
Which side of the plane to sit from Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris) to Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (Belgrade)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the most dramatic mountain scenery, specifically the high peaks of the Swiss and Austrian Alps, which stay visible for a significant portion of the mid-flight.
Paris Cityscape
Clear views of the northern arrondissements and the Basilica of Sacrรฉ-Cลur during initial climb-out.
Bernese Oberland
Spectacular views of the Swiss giants including the Eiger, Mรถnch, and Jungfrau peaks.
Lake Constance
The massive expanse of the Bodensee where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet.
Julian Alps
The rugged limestone peaks of Slovenia, including Triglav National Park.
Ljubljana
The red-roofed capital of Slovenia nestled in a basin surrounded by mountains.
Morning flights are ideal for the left side as the sun will be positioned to your south, perfectly illuminating the northern faces of the Alps. Choose a seat at least five rows behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the deep valleys of Switzerland.
Lake Geneva
The iconic crescent-shaped lake with views of the Jet d'Eau if the path stays southerly.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in Western Europe is visible on the horizon to the south while crossing France/Switzerland.
Adriatic Glimpses
Distant views of the northern Adriatic coastline and the Istrian Peninsula.
Pannonian Basin
The vast, flat agricultural plains of Croatia and northern Serbia leading into Belgrade.
Sava-Danube Confluence
The spectacular meeting point of the two great rivers in the heart of Belgrade during descent.
The right side is best for late afternoon or sunset flights to catch the 'Golden Hour' over the Serbian plains. For the landing at BEG, the right side typically provides a better view of New Belgrade and the Victor monument at Kalemegdan Fortress.
