Which side of the plane to sit from Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris) to Podgorica Airport (Podgorica)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the most iconic landmarks of this route, including the highest peaks of the Alps and the breathtaking descent over the Adriatic coastline and the Bay of Kotor.
Lake Geneva
The massive crescent-shaped lake and the French-Swiss border region visible during mid-flight.
Mont Blanc
Majestic views of Western Europe's highest peak as you traverse the southern Alps.
Dalmatian Archipelago
Stunning views of the turquoise waters and thousands of islands along the Croatian coast.
Bay of Kotor
A breathtaking view of the winding, fjord-like bay during the descent into Montenegro.
Lake Skadar
The largest lake in the Balkans, providing a lush green backdrop just before touchdown.
The right side is essential for the scenic approach into Podgorica. As the aircraft descends, you will likely pass the spectacular Bay of Kotor. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for photography of the Adriatic coast, as the sun will be behind the aircraft.
Parisian Suburbs
Expansive views of the French capital's northern and eastern outskirts shortly after takeoff.
Bernese Oberland
Dramatic views of the Swiss Alps, including the Eiger and Jungfrau massifs to the south.
Venetian Lagoon
Potential distant views of the historic canals and the unique island geography of Venice.
Dinaric Alps
The rugged, limestone karst topography of the Balkan Peninsula stretching across Bosnia.
Sit on the left for morning flights to minimize direct sun glare when looking south. This side is better for spotting the expansive Swiss mountain massifs and the northern rim of the Adriatic Sea if the flight path remains inland.
