PRN → FRA
Which side of the plane to sit from Priština International Airport (Pristina) to Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers unparalleled views of the high Alpine peaks and the rugged Dinaric mountain ranges of the Balkans.
Dinaric Alps
Stunning limestone peaks and deep valleys spanning Montenegro and Bosnia shortly after takeoff.
Adriatic Coastline
Distant but shimmering views of the Croatian islands and the blue Adriatic Sea to the southwest.
Hohe Tauern
Breathtaking views of Austria's highest mountains, including glaciers and the Grossglockner massif.
Lake Chiemsee
Known as the Bavarian Sea, this large lake is a prominent landmark as you enter German airspace.
Frankfurt Skyline
If the wind is from the west, the left side often gets a direct view of the 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers on final approach.
Choose a window seat in front of the wing for unobstructed views of the Alps. This route is most spectacular in the morning when the sun illuminates the mountains from the east, or during winter when the snow cover is maximum. Watch for the dramatic transition from the Balkan highlands to the jagged Austrian peaks roughly 45-60 minutes into the flight.
Pannonian Basin
The vast, fertile plains of northern Serbia and eastern Croatia stretching toward the horizon.
Danube River
The silver ribbon of the Danube winding through central Europe as you cross into Austria and Germany.
Munich Metropolis
Clear views of Munich city center and the glowing white shell of the Allianz Arena football stadium.
Spessart Nature Park
A dense canopy of ancient oak and beech forests covering the rolling hills of central Germany.
The right side is excellent for seeing major German cities like Munich and Regensburg. In the late afternoon, this side is shaded, providing better conditions for photography without glare. Keep an eye out for the Danube River, which serves as a constant navigational guide through much of the central part of the journey.
