Which side of the plane to sit from Hamburg Airport (Hamburg) to Priština International Airport (Pristina)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of major European capitals and the dramatic winding paths of the Danube River, providing a more landmark-heavy experience during the descent into the Balkans.
Berlin Metropolitan Area
Shortly after takeoff, catch a glimpse of the sprawling German capital and its surrounding Brandenburg lakes.
The Danube Bend
A stunning visual as the Danube River makes a sharp turn through the mountains north of Budapest.
Budapest Cityscape
Exceptional views of the Hungarian Parliament Building and the iconic bridges spanning the river.
Pannonian Basin
The vast, flat agricultural heartland of Central Europe stretching across Hungary and northern Serbia.
Belgrade Confluence
Watch the impressive meeting point of the Sava and Danube rivers at the historic Kalemegdan Fortress.
Book an afternoon flight to avoid morning sun glare on this side. The approach into Pristina from the north often aligns perfectly for a view of the Gazimestan monument on the left. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Serbian border for the most dense concentration of landmarks.
Thuringian Forest
Deep green rolling hills and dense woodlands of central Germany's premier mountain range.
Prague & Vltava River
The 'City of a Hundred Spires' is often visible on the right, showcasing its medieval urban layout.
Alpine Horizon
On clear days, the jagged white peaks of the Austrian Alps are visible far to the southwest.
Lake Balaton
Central Europe's largest lake, easily identifiable by its long shape and distinct milky-green color.
Kopaonik Mountains
Rugged, high-altitude terrain as the flight enters the mountainous heart of the Balkan Peninsula.
The right side is ideal for morning flights as the sun will be behind the aircraft, illuminating the landscape perfectly. This side offers better views of the rugged mountain terrain during the final 20 minutes of the flight. Look for Lake Balaton roughly midway through the journey.
