Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides the most dramatic views of the Slovenian Alps upon departure and the best chance to spot major urban centers like Prague and Berlin during the cruise phase.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Kamnik-Savinja Alps

Dramatic limestone peaks visible immediately after departure from Ljubljana.

🏰

Prague Cityscape

The historic center of the Czech capital is often visible to the west of the flight path.

🏙️

Berlin Skyline

A sprawling view of Germany's capital including the Fernsehturm and surrounding lakes.

🌊

Baltic Coastline

Scenic views of the German and Danish shores as you cross the sea.

🌉

Øresund Bridge

A clear view of the massive bridge connecting Copenhagen to Malmö during the final approach.

Choose the left side for morning departures to have the sun behind you, providing optimal lighting for photos of the Alps. Keep your camera ready within 5 minutes of takeoff for the best mountain shots. For the landing, the Oresund Bridge is most likely visible from this side if approaching from the south.

Right Side Highlights
7.9
🏔️

Karavanke Mountains

The rugged border range between Slovenia and Austria with sharp ridges.

⛰️

Austrian Alps

Expansive views of the snow-capped Eastern Alps during the first third of the flight.

🏞️

Elbe River

Watch the wide, winding river snake through the northern German plains.

🚢

Rostock Harbor

Spot the busy shipping lanes and ferries at one of Germany's major Baltic ports.

🇩🇰

Zealand Island

The lush green landscapes and coastal inlets of Denmark's most populous island.

The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to catch the golden hour over the German plains. In winter, look for the stark contrast of the snow-covered Austrian mountains against the darker valleys. During the descent, you may catch views of the smaller Danish islands like Falster and Møn.
