DUS → SKG
Which side of the plane to sit from Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf) to Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport (Thessaloniki)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning views, the right side provides a superior vantage point for the main chain of the Austrian Alps and the iconic Mount Olympus during the final approach into Thessaloniki.

Frankfurt Skyline
The 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers are frequently visible in the distance shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
High Tauern National Park
Spectacular views of Austria's highest peaks, including the Grossglockner and its surrounding glaciers.
Dinaric Alps
The rugged karst terrain of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro provides a dramatic, lunar-like landscape.
Durmitor Massif
The deep canyons and jagged limestone peaks of Montenegro's premier national park.
Mount Olympus
The legendary home of the gods and Greece's highest peak is a massive presence on the right during descent.
The right side is the clear winner for mountain lovers. Try to book an afternoon flight to see the sun illuminating the southern face of the Alps. Watch closely about 20 minutes before landing for Mount Olympus; it is often capped with snow even in late spring.

Düsseldorf & Rhine
Aerial view of the Rhine river loops and the MediaHarbor district immediately after departure.
Thuringian Forest
Dense green ridges and rolling hills of central Germany as the flight heads southeast.
Salzburg & Berchtesgaden
The historic city of Salzburg and the rugged Watzmann massif on the German-Austrian border.
Belgrade & Danube
The confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers near the Serbian capital is often visible mid-flight.
Halkidiki Peninsulas
On clear days during the descent, the three 'fingers' of the Halkidiki peninsula appear to the east.
Sit on the left if you want to see the city of Salzburg and the transition from the Alps to the Pannonian Basin. For evening flights, this side avoids the direct glare of the setting sun, making photography of the Balkan landscapes much easier.
