Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular vantage point for the highest peaks of the Austrian Alps and the dramatic, rugged terrain of the Dinaric Alps through the Balkans.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
πŸ”οΈ

High Tauern Range

Spectacular views of Austria's highest peaks, including the Grossglockner, often capped with snow year-round.

πŸ’Ž

Julian Alps

Glances of the sharp limestone peaks in Slovenia and the turquoise hues of mountain lakes in the distance.

🌊

Adriatic Horizon

On clear days, the shimmering Adriatic Sea and the Croatian coastline are visible far to the southwest.

⛰️

Dinaric Alps

A long stretch of karst topography and deep valleys across Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro.

πŸ”οΈ

Ε ar Mountains

As you descend into Skopje, the massive Ε ar Mountain range provides a stunning backdrop to the west of the city.

The right side is the definitive choice for mountain lovers. For the best experience, book a window seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Alpine glaciers. During winter months, the snow-covered Dinarides are particularly breathtaking. Note that afternoon flights may experience significant sun glare on this side.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏰

Rhine Valley

Shortly after takeoff from Hahn, enjoy views of the winding Rhine River and its historic hillside castles.

πŸ™οΈ

Frankfurt/Main Region

Distance views of the Frankfurt skyline and the urban sprawl of the Rhine-Main metropolitan area.

🏞️

Lake Chiemsee

Known as the 'Bavarian Sea', this large lake is often visible as the flight transitions toward the Austrian border.

πŸ™οΈ

Belgrade

Depending on the specific airway, the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers at Belgrade can be spotted to the northeast.

πŸ—οΈ

Skopje Cityscape

On final approach, catch views of the Vardar River and the expanding northern suburbs of the Macedonian capital.

The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. It provides a better perspective of the Pannonian Basin and the transition from central European plains to the Balkan hills. Watch for the Danube river's silvery ribbon during the middle of the flight.
