LJU → TIA
Which side of the plane to sit from Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport (Ljubljana) to Tirana International Airport Mother Teresa (Tirana)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unrivaled view of the stunning Adriatic coastline, featuring the intricate Croatian islands and the dramatic fjords of Montenegro.
Dalmatian Archipelago
A breathtaking view of the thousands of islands dotting the Croatian coast, from Krk down to Mljet.
Dubrovnik
Weather permitting, you can spot the iconic walled city and its red roofs jutting into the Adriatic.
Bay of Kotor
The plane passes near the winding, mountain-ringed bay, offering a bird's-eye view of this UNESCO site.
Adriatic Coastline
The continuous contrast between the deep turquoise sea and the white limestone cliffs is visible for most of the flight.
This is the premier side for this route. Request a window seat away from the wing for unobstructed views of the coast. For afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, so bring sunglasses or choose a morning flight for the best photographic lighting of the blue water and islands.
Kamnik-Savinja Alps
Immediately after takeoff, the left side provides a close-up view of Slovenia's high limestone peaks.
Dinaric Range
The rugged, forested interior of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro provides a wild, mountainous backdrop.
Lake Skadar
As you enter Albanian airspace, look for the vast expanse of the Balkans' largest lake on the border.
Krujë Ridge
During the final descent into TIA, the historic mountain of Krujë appears prominently to the east.
Sit on the left for morning flights to have the sun behind you. This side is better for mountain enthusiasts who want to see the remote karst plateaus and the deep canyons of the Montenegro interior. Look for the distinct blue heart of Lake Skadar roughly 15 minutes before landing.
