Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the most iconic landscapes of Central Europe and the Balkans, including the highest peaks of the Austrian Alps and the stunning turquoise coastline of the Adriatic Sea.

Right Side Highlights
8.9
🌲

The Black Forest

Dense, dark evergreen canopies and rolling hills of southwestern Germany visible early in the cruise.

🏔️

High Tauern National Park

Direct views of the highest glaciated peaks in Austria, including the majestic Grossglockner.

🌊

Adriatic Coastline

A spectacular sequence of Croatian islands and the crystal-clear turquoise waters of the Dalmatian coast.

🪨

Dinaric Alps

The unique, white-limestone karst topography of Bosnia and Montenegro, characterized by deep canyons.

🏛️

Skopje City & Mount Vodno

A perfect view of the capital city and the Millennium Cross atop Mount Vodno during the final approach.

The transition from the icy Alps to the Mediterranean coast is the highlight of this route. Afternoon flights are spectacular on this side as the sun sets over the Adriatic, but be prepared for potential glare. Use a polarized filter for photos to capture the true color of the water below.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Ruhr Valley

Aerial views of the densely populated and industrial heart of Germany shortly after departure.

🥨

Bavarian Plains

The expansive, well-ordered agricultural landscapes of Southern Germany and the outskirts of Munich.

🏔️

Northern Limestone Alps

Dramatic jagged ridges and deep valleys near the Austrian border, including the Berchtesgaden area.

🏰

Belgrade Confluence

The striking meeting point of the Sava and Danube rivers if the flight path tracks over central Serbia.

⛰️

Sar Mountains

Rugged, snow-capped peaks rising sharply as the aircraft begins its final descent into North Macedonia.

Sit toward the rear to keep the wing out of your shots of the Alpine fringe. This side is ideal for morning flights as it remains in the shade, reducing window glare for crisp photography of the German and Serbian landscapes.
