Aerial views of the southern Swedish archipelago and the transition into the open Baltic Sea.
Gdańsk Bay
The industrial and historic coastline of Poland's Tri-City area is often visible during the southward transit.
High Tatra Mountains
The dramatic, jagged peaks of the highest range in the Carpathians, forming the border between Poland and Slovakia.
Budapest & The Danube
A stunning view of the Hungarian capital, featuring the Parliament building and the river's distinctive curve.
Belgrade
The confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers marking the location of the Serbian capital.
Balkan Peninsula Peaks
Rugged, limestone mountain ranges as the flight enters North Macedonian airspace.
Sit on the left for the best morning light and to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun when flying south. The High Tatras appear approximately midway through the flight; keep a camera ready for this highlight. On clear nights, the grid of lights from Budapest provides an unforgettable sight.

Vardar Valley
The winding river valley that leads the final approach into Skopje Alexander the Great Airport.
