Which side of the plane to sit from Domodedovo International Airport (Moscow) to Podgorica Airport (Podgorica)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the most dramatic geographic features of the Balkans, including the deepest canyons in Europe and the high limestone massifs of the Dinaric Alps.
Tara River Canyon
Europe's deepest canyon, visible as a massive, emerald-tinted crack through the rugged terrain.
Durmitor Massif
The spectacular limestone peaks of Durmitor National Park, often snow-capped well into the spring.
Moraca River Gorge
A deep, vertical canyon that the plane follows closely during its descent into the Zeta Plain.
Podgorica Cityscape
A full view of the Montenegrin capital, its bridges, and the surrounding vineyards just before touchdown.
The right side is the 'mountain side.' For the best experience, monitor your flight path as you enter Montenegrin airspace; the transition from high mountains to the Podgorica valley is abrupt and spectacular. In winter, the contrast between the snowy Durmitor peaks and the Mediterranean valley below is a highlight.
Moscow Outskirts
Aerial views of the southern Russian capital's expansion and the transition into rural landscapes.
Pannonian Basin
Vast, colorful geometric patterns of the fertile agricultural plains spanning Hungary and Northern Serbia.
Prokletije Mountains
The 'Accursed Mountains' on the Albanian border featuring sharp, jagged peaks and glacial valleys.
Lake Skadar
The largest lake in the Balkans, appearing as a vast turquoise expanse during the final descent.
Sit on the left if you want a clear view of Lake Skadar and the Albanian border mountains during the final approach. This side is particularly beautiful during late afternoon flights when the 'Accursed Mountains' are hit by a soft, side-lit glow. Choose a seat away from the wing to see the lake's unique horseshoe bends.
