Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an unbeatable combination of the high Swiss Alps, the Venetian Lagoon, and the stunning island-dotted coastline of Croatia followed by a dramatic approach into Montenegro.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
❄️

Mont Blanc & High Alps

Distant but majestic views of Western Europe's highest peaks and the glaciers of the Valais region.

🛶

Venetian Lagoon

The distinctive shape of Venice and its surrounding islands visible as you cross the Adriatic coast.

🏝️

Dalmatian Archipelago

Crystal clear turquoise waters surrounding the islands of Hvar, Brač, and Korčula.

⚓

Bay of Kotor

The 'Southernmost Fjord' provides a breathtaking sight just minutes before landing at Podgorica.

💧

Skadar Lake

The largest lake in the Balkans, shared with Albania, visible during the final landing approach.

The right side is superior for coastal scenery. Watch for the transition from the snowy Alps to the blue Adriatic. Aim for a mid-afternoon flight to see the sun reflecting off the Croatian islands and the Bay of Kotor.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌳

Ardennes Forest

Dense, rolling green hills across southern Belgium and Luxembourg shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Central Alpine Peaks

A sweeping view of the high mountain ranges of Austria and eastern Switzerland.

🏘️

Zagreb Cityscape

The Croatian capital is often visible as the flight transitions from the Alps toward the Balkans.

⛰️

Durmitor National Park

Dramatic limestone massifs and deep canyons of northern Montenegro during the initial descent.

Sit on the left if you prefer endless mountain vistas and the rugged interior of the Balkan Peninsula. For the best lighting on these features, a morning flight is ideal to avoid the harsh southern sun glare.
