Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers the most dramatic urban landmarks, including a potentially stunning view of Budapest and the sweeping curves of the Danube River as you descend into the Balkans.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏭

Ruhr Industrial Landscape

Aerial views of the dense urban and industrial infrastructure of the Ruhr area immediately after departure from Dortmund.

🏰

Vienna Basin

Distant views of the Austrian capital and the surrounding lowlands as the flight skirts north of the city.

🌉

Budapest & The Danube

The primary highlight of the route; the Hungarian capital's bridges and Parliament building are often visible as you fly southeast.

🌾

Vojvodina Plains

The vast, flat agricultural patchwork of northern Serbia, characterized by its unique geometric field patterns.

🇷🇸

Belgrade City Center

Depending on the landing pattern, a clear view of the 'Old Town' and the Kalemegdan Fortress during the final approach.

Book a seat on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. The approach into Belgrade is often from the north, meaning the left side gets the best view of the city's confluence of rivers. Look out for Budapest approximately 70-80 minutes after takeoff.

Right Side Highlights
8.1
⛰️

Sauerland Hills

The 'Land of a Thousand Hills' provides a scenic green backdrop shortly after leaving the Dortmund airspace.

🥨

Nuremberg & Franconia

Clear views of the historic Bavarian city and the rolling forested terrain of the Franconian Jura.

🏔️

The Austrian Alps

A magnificent horizon view of the snow-capped Northern Limestone Alps to the south during the mid-portion of the flight.

💧

Lake Balaton

The turquoise waters of Central Europe's largest lake are visible to the south as you cross through Hungary.

🌊

Sava River

The winding Sava river guides the aircraft toward the Nikola Tesla Airport during the final descent phase.

The right side is superior for long-distance mountain spotting; on clear days, the Alpine chain is visible for a significant portion of the cruise. Choose this side for afternoon flights to witness golden hour light hitting the Serbian landscape during arrival.
