OSL β†’ BEG

Which side of the plane to sit from Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo) to Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (Belgrade)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic High Tatra mountains and the scenic curves of the Danube River as you transition from Northern to Southeastern Europe.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Oslofjorden

Aerial views of the narrow inlets and forested islands surrounding the Norwegian capital during departure.

🏝️

Baltic Islands

Bird's-eye view of the German and Polish coastline, including RΓΌgen and the western Baltic islands.

πŸ™οΈ

Berlin Panorama

Depending on the specific air corridor, a distant view of the Berlin metropolitan area and its surrounding lakes.

πŸ”οΈ

High Tatras

The jagged, snow-capped peaks of the Carpathian Mountains along the border of Poland and Slovakia.

πŸ’§

Danube Bend

The dramatic 'U' turn of the Danube River north of Budapest, one of the most scenic river sections in Europe.

πŸŒ‡

Belgrade Cityscape

A sweeping view of the Serbian capital, including the Church of Saint Sava and the city center during the final approach.

The left side is best for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh western sun. Watch closely about 75 minutes into the flight for the High Tatras. In winter, these peaks are exceptionally bright and clear. If landing from the north, this side provides the best view of downtown Belgrade.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🏘️

Oslo City

A clear view of the city center, the Opera House, and the Holmenkollen ski jump immediately after takeoff.

The Kattegat

View of the busy shipping lanes and the Danish coastline as you head south over the North Sea transition.

Distant Alps

On very clear days, the northern rim of the Alps can be seen on the far horizon while over Czechia or Austria.

🌊

Lake Balaton

Central Europe's largest lake, easily identifiable by its unique turquoise color and elongated shape.

🌾

Pannonian Plain

The vast, flat agricultural heartland of Central Europe stretching across Hungary and into northern Serbia.

πŸŒ‰

Sava River

The winding path of the Sava River as it approaches its confluence with the Danube near the airport.

The right side is ideal for morning flights, as the sun will be on the opposite side of the aircraft. It offers great views of the Hungarian plains. During descent into BEG, look for the emerald-colored Lake Balaton, which is a major landmark for pilots on this route.
