Search flights from MMX to SKP
Öresund Region
A glimpse back at the bridge connecting Sweden and Denmark and the coastal wind farms near Malmö.
Berlin & Brandenburg
Depending on the specific airway, the sprawling forests and urban periphery of the German capital may be visible.
Lake Balaton
Central Europe's largest lake, known for its distinct milky-turquoise water, is a major highlight over Hungary.
Dinaric Alps
The rugged, karst mountain ranges of Bosnia and western Serbia provide a dramatic transition into the Balkans.
Skopje City & Mount Vodno
Final approach offers views of the Millennium Cross atop Mount Vodno and the Vardar River winding through the city.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the sun's glare. The highlight of the trip is Lake Balaton; look for its long, narrow shape approximately 60-70 minutes into the flight. On the final approach into Skopje, the terrain becomes much more mountainous, offering excellent photo opportunities of the Macedonian landscape.

Baltic Coastline
Dramatic views of the southern Swedish shores and the deep blue expanse of the Baltic Sea shortly after takeoff.
Wrocław
The historic Polish 'City of a Hundred Bridges' is often visible as you cross into Central Europe.
High Tatras
Distant but sharp views of the jagged peaks marking the border between Poland and Slovakia.
Great Hungarian Plain
A vast, geometric patchwork of agricultural fields stretching toward the horizon.
Belgrade
The confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers is a major landmark visible while overflying Serbia.
Sit here if you enjoy wide-angle horizons and rural landscapes. During morning flights, expect significant glare as the sun rises in the east; afternoon flights offer much better visibility for the High Tatras and Serbian river systems. Keep an eye out for Kumanovo just before the final descent into SKP.
