OSI → ZAG
Which side of the plane to sit from Osijek Airport (Osijek) to Zagreb Airport (Zagreb)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Papuk mountain massif and typically provides a more comprehensive panorama of Zagreb and the Medvednica mountain during the final descent into Franjo Tuđman Airport.
Papuk Nature Park
The highest mountain in Slavonia, offering a sharp contrast of dense green forest against the surrounding flat agricultural Pannonian Basin.
Slavonian Vineyards
The rolling hills of the Kutjevo wine region are visible, characterized by perfectly aligned rows of grapevines.
Zagreb Panorama
As the plane turns for its final approach, the entire city of Zagreb, including the twin spires of the Cathedral, comes into view.
Medvednica Mountain
The massive green ridge protecting Zagreb to the north, with the Sljeme transmitter tower visible on its highest peak.
The right side is the 'money side' for the approach into Zagreb. Because the flight is short and low-altitude, usually on a Dash 8, details on the ground are very clear. Choose a seat away from the high-wing structure if flying on a turboprop to ensure an unobstructed view of the Papuk peaks.
Osijek Tvrđa
The historic 18th-century star-shaped fortress is visible on the banks of the Drava immediately after takeoff from OSI.
Đakovo Cathedral
The massive red-brick towers of St. Peter's Cathedral are a prominent landmark rising from the Slavonian plains to the south.
Sava River Valley
The winding silver ribbon of the Sava River marks the southern horizon, often shrouded in morning mist.
Lonjsko Polje
One of the largest preserved wetlands in Europe, appearing as a patchwork of flooded forests and meadows near Sisak.
Sit on the left for the best lighting conditions during morning flights heading west. Keep an eye out for the distinct red brick of Đakovo Cathedral roughly 10 minutes into the flight. In spring, the Lonjsko Polje wetlands are particularly scenic due to high water levels.
