Our Recommendation
8.6

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the dramatic Dinaric Alps and the iconic Olympic mountains of Bosnia, providing a more rugged and impressive landscape throughout the flight.

Right Side Highlights
8.6
🌲

Kočevje Wilderness

Look down upon the dense, deep green forests of southern Slovenia, home to brown bears and wolves.

🏔️

Dinaric Karst

The flight crosses the heart of the Dinaric Alps, featuring white limestone peaks and deep valleys.

🏔️

Vlašić Massif

A massive mountain plateau in central Bosnia known for its high-altitude pastures and steep cliffs.

⛷️

Olympic Peaks

Spectacular views of Bjelašnica and Igman mountains, where the 1984 Winter Olympic events were held.

The right side is the choice for nature lovers. The descent into Sarajevo is particularly scenic on this side as the plane flies close to the Bjelašnica mountain range. Evening flights offer stunning sunset colors over the Adriatic-facing slopes.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Ljubljana Basin

Aerial view of the Slovenian capital and its surrounding green marshes immediately after takeoff.

💧

Sava River Meanders

Watch the Sava river carve its path through the rolling hills of eastern Slovenia and northern Croatia.

🏘️

Zagreb Suburbs

On clear days, the northern horizon reveals the sprawling layout of the Croatian capital.

⛰️

Mount Trebević

The prominent mountain that hugs the southeastern edge of Sarajevo, visible during the final descent.

Sit on the left if you want a chance to see the historic center of Sarajevo during a standard Runway 11 approach. Morning flights provide the best lighting for these views as the sun remains to your south.
