Which side of the plane to sit from Hannover Airport (Hannover) to Priština International Airport (Pristina)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for viewing the rugged Dinaric Alps and the distant silhouette of the high Austrian Alps, especially during the final hour of flight.
Harz Mountains
Immediately after departure from HAJ, look for the Brocken peak, the highest point in Northern Germany.
The Austrian Alps
On clear days, the jagged, snow-capped peaks of the High Alps are visible in the distance to the southwest.
Dinaric Alps
A highlight of the flight, featuring dramatic limestone karst formations and deep green valleys across Bosnia.
Sarajevo Valley
The city of Sarajevo is often visible nestled deep within its surrounding mountain ring during the mid-to-late flight stage.
Šar Mountains
Dramatic high-altitude peaks appearing during the descent into Pristina, marking the border between Kosovo and North Macedonia.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight while viewing the mountains. Ensure you have your camera ready 30 minutes before landing, as the descent over the Balkan mountain ranges is breathtaking. Request a window seat away from the wing for an unobstructed view of the Dinaric karst topography.
Leipzig Cityscape
Visible shortly after takeoff, this major urban hub in Saxony features distinctive industrial and historic architecture.
Bohemian Landscape
As the plane enters Czech airspace, the rolling hills and dense forests of Bohemia stretch toward the horizon.
Vienna and the Danube
If the route tracks eastward, the Austrian capital and the winding Danube River provide a stunning silver contrast to the land.
Pannonian Basin
The vast, flat agricultural plains of Hungary and northern Serbia create a geometric patchwork of colors.
Belgrade
The confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers is often visible as you approach the Balkan peninsula.
Sit on the left for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise, though glare can be intense. This side is better for spotting the sprawling urban centers of Central Europe. In winter, the snow-covered Hungarian plains offer a unique, minimalist aesthetic.
