FRA → PRN
Which side of the plane to sit from Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt) to Priština International Airport (Pristina)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the high Alpine peaks in Austria and the dramatic, rugged terrain of the Dinaric Alps and Prokletije range during the descent into the Balkans.
High Alps
Spectacular views of the central Austrian Alps, including snow-capped glaciers and deep glacial valleys.
Grossglockner
Look for Austria's highest peak standing out among the Hohe Tauern range during the mid-flight cruise.
Dinaric Alps
The limestone karst landscape of Bosnia and Montenegro, characterized by deep canyons and rugged ridges.
Prokletije Mountains
Also known as the Accursed Mountains, these dramatic, jagged peaks mark the border region near Kosovo.
Kosovo Plain
A broad view of the fertile plains surrounding Pristina as the aircraft aligns for its final approach to PRN.
The right side is the clear winner for mountain enthusiasts. To avoid the direct glare of the sun on south-bound flights, book an early morning or late afternoon flight. The transition from the snowy Alps to the grey limestone of the Balkans is a visual highlight of this route.
Frankfurt Skyline
Aerial view of the 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers and the Main River immediately after takeoff from FRA.
Spessart and Odenwald
Dense, rolling green forests of central Germany as the plane heads southeast toward Bavaria.
Northern Limestone Alps
Views of the northern fringe of the Alps, including the peaks near Salzburg and the Berchtesgaden area.
Danube River
The winding path of the Danube as it flows through southern Germany and toward the Pannonian Basin.
The left side is ideal for capturing the Frankfurt skyline during the initial climb. For photography, morning flights provide softer light on the German and Austrian landscapes, while evening flights may offer a view of the city lights of Belgrade in the distance.
