Which side of the plane to sit from Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport (Ljubljana) to Brussels South Charleroi Airport (Charleroi)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the highest Alpine peaks shortly after takeoff, including the majestic Julian Alps and the snow-capped High Tauern range in Austria.
Mount Triglav
Slovenia's highest peak and the Julian Alps are visible almost immediately after takeoff to the west.
High Tauern Range
Spectacular views of Austria's highest mountains, including the Grossglockner massif, often covered in snow year-round.
Lake Constance
A vast expanse of blue water marking the border between Austria, Germany, and Switzerland.
Black Forest
Dense, dark green evergreen canopies stretching across the southwestern German landscape.
The Ardennes
The rugged, forested hills of southern Belgium providing a scenic backdrop during the descent into Charleroi.
Sit behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the Alpine panorama. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you or to your side, providing excellent lighting for photography of the Julian Alps. In winter, the snow-covered peaks of the Hohe Tauern are particularly striking about 15-20 minutes into the flight.
Karawanks Ridge
The dramatic limestone mountain chain that forms the natural border between Slovenia and Austria.
Munich Skyline
On clear days, the Bavarian capital and the distinctive Allianz Arena may be visible to the north.
Rhine River
The flight crosses this major European waterway, usually near the historic cities of Mainz or Koblenz.
Luxembourg City
The unique topography of the Alzette river valley and the city's fortifications can often be spotted.
Meuse River
Winding through the limestone cliffs of Dinant as the plane prepares for its final approach.
The right side is ideal for spotting the industrial and historical heart of the Rhineland. Keep an eye out for the distinctive river bends of the Meuse during the final 10 minutes of flight. Afternoon flights on this side may experience some glare as the sun moves toward the west, so a window shade or polarized lenses are recommended.
