FRA → BEG
Which side of the plane to sit from Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt) to Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (Belgrade)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual experience, primarily due to its proximity to the Alpine range to the south and the dramatic approach into Belgrade where the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers is often visible.
Northern Alps
Stunning vistas of the Bavarian and Austrian Alps, including prominent peaks in the distance.
Lake Chiemsee
Known as the 'Bavarian Sea', this large lake sits beautifully at the foot of the mountains.
Hohe Tauern Range
Glaciated peaks of the central Austrian Alps are visible during the middle section of the flight.
Sava River
The winding path of the Sava river acts as a guide leading the aircraft toward the Serbian capital.
Belgrade Confluence
During the final approach into BEG, the meeting of the Sava and Danube rivers provides a spectacular landmark.
Select an 'F' or 'K' seat. On afternoon flights, this side receives the most dramatic lighting, highlighting the textures of the Alpine ridges. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes of flight; the approach often banks over the city, offering a perfect view of the Kalemegdan Fortress and the river confluence.
Frankfurt Skyline
Immediate views of the Main river and the high-rise financial district shortly after takeoff.
Nuremberg
The historic center of the Franconian metropolis and the Pegnitz river are visible as the flight tracks southeast.
Vienna
The Austrian capital often appears as a sprawling urban center with the Danube flowing through its heart.
Lake Balaton
The largest lake in Central Europe appears as a long turquoise strip while cruising over Hungary.
Pannonian Basin
The flat, geometric patterns of Hungarian and Serbian agricultural heartlands dominate the descent.
Sit in an 'A' seat for these views. This side is ideal for morning flights as the sun will be behind the aircraft, providing excellent lighting for photography of the Hungarian plains and the Danube bend. In winter, look for the contrast of the snow-dusted urban grids of Vienna.
